Eero Saarinen (Finland/USA 1910-1961)
Knoll International. 1960s.
A rare set of original vintage model ‘Tulip’ chairs (these are the early versions with fixed bases).
Eero Saarinen’s Iconic Tulip Armchairs were designed in 1955-56 as part of his Pedestal Collection for Knoll. Saarinen sought to solve the issue of “the slum of legs” in traditional furniture by creating a chair with a single pedestal base, giving it a clean, sculptural appearance. While he originally envisioned the chair being made entirely of one material, technological limitations led to the use of a fiberglass seat and an aluminum base, painted to appear as a unified piece. The design, resembling both a flower and a wineglass, became revolutionary for its organic shape and simplicity. Its futuristic aesthetic, often associated with the Space Age, made it a staple of mid-century modern design.
Very good condition – The bases have been restored and the fiberglass shells have been cleaned. They have new cushions in chartreuse yellow/green upholstery with zip covers which are anchored to the seats using Velcro pieces to the underside.
Price: 7.000 euro (set of 8 – Note: we can also sell in sets of even numbers)
