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: 7.950 euro (set of 8 – Note: we can also sell in sets of even numbers)

Verner Panton (Denmark 1926-1998)
VP-Europe lamp. 1977. Manufactured by Louis Poulsen in the late 1970s.
Chromed plastic foot with moulded glass shade. The lamp’s name Europa derives from the series of lighting designed by Verner Panton for the hotel Europa in Lugano.
This large table lamp has a diameter of 48cm and a height of 63cm which is particularly big for a table lamp. The main component is a mouth-blown shade made of clear and frosted glass. The red painted lamp cap produces beautiful light effects within the lamp.
This lamp was only produced over a short period of time which when combined with the complexity of moulding the glass shade make it one of Verner Panton´s most rare and sought-after lamps.
Price: 2,995.00 euro
