Tulip chair by Eero Saarinen (armless and armchair) new

Considered one of the great icons of design, Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair is characterised by the instantly recognisable cup-shaped frame, emphasised by the reduction of support to a single stem.

Designed in 1957 as part of the famous Pedestal collection, that vowed to address the ‘ugly, confusing, unrestful world’ underneath tables and tables, the chair consists of a sweeping base of die-cast aluminium lacquered in white and is coated with a protective layer.

Printed with the designer’s signature positioned under the base to certify authenticity, this Chair is a unique and timeless icon that is sure to steal the spotlight in any living space.

Also available in a swivel based version and with and without arms.

This chair by Eero Saarinen appears in TV and fims such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Casino Royale (1967) and A Clockwork Orange.

Other kinds of Tulip chair – the Tulip Chair 115 designed by Maurice Burke for Arkana and the 116 designed by Maurice Burke for Arkana appear in Star Trek The Original Series.

You can find new Tulip chairs from Little Tulip and Chaplins in UK and from 2Modern in USA.
