48-FI Tulip Chair (White molded Shell & Seat Cushion), Inspired by Eero Saarinen
Designed by Eero Saarinen between 1955 and 1956, the Tulip Chair became one of the defining icons of twentieth-century modern design. Created as part of the groundbreaking Pedestal Collection, Saarinen sought to eliminate what he famously described as the "slum of legs" beneath conventional tables and chairs, replacing visual clutter with a single, sculptural form.
Dimensions
Overall: 31.5"W × 26"D × 32.25"H
Seat Height: 18.5"
Characterized by its flowing silhouette and innovative use of materials, the Tulip Chair exemplifies the optimism and experimentation of post-war American modernism. Its graceful curves, pedestal base and seamless appearance have also made it a celebrated icon of the Space Age aesthetic, where organic forms met technological innovation.
Our interpretation captures the distinctive proportions and sculptural elegance of the original while incorporating carefully considered contemporary construction techniques. The pedestal base is crafted from durable cast aluminum with a refined protective finish, while the fiberglass moulded shell provides strength, stability and lasting comfort. A removable upholstered seat cushion completes the design, offering exceptional comfort for both residential and commercial interiors.
More than six decades after its introduction, the Tulip Chair remains one of the most influential and enduring examples of modern furniture design.
