A modern design icon that seamlessly blends elegance and innovation, Designed by Eero Saarinen in 1957, Knoll Tulip chairs are defined by their fluid silhouette and signature central base, created to eliminate the visual clutter of traditional legs. With their sculptural form and refined versatility, Saarinen Tulip chairs embody timeless sophistication. The collection includes dining chairs, armchairs, and a stool, all designed to pair effortlessly with Saarinen's iconic tables.
The Tulip Chair by Eero Saarinen redefined seating design in the late 1950s. Saarinen sought to eliminate the visual clutter of traditional chair legs, replacing them with a single, sculptural support that created a seamless, elegant silhouette. The result is a chair with a slender, central pedestal base, striking the perfect balance between stability, comfort, and visual lightness. Its ergonomic backrest and fluid contours enhance both aesthetics and functionality, making it an ideal choice for a variety of settings.
The Tulip Chair collection by Knoll is distinguished by its lightweight yet durable fiberglass shell and molded aluminum base, designed for stability without adding visual weight. Expanding beyond the original chair, the series includes a Tulip Armchair, offering added arm support, and a Tulip Stool, perfect for more dynamic and contemporary spaces. Select models feature a swivel base for increased versatility, while fully upholstered options enhance comfort without compromising Saarinen’s signature elegance.
