The Saarinen Tulip Chair is a high quality reproduction inspired by Saarinen’s original. Designed in 1956, the Tulip Chair was born out of Saarinen’s dissatisfaction with what he called the “slum of legs” under most dining tables. While the Tulip Chair did fix this problem, it also went on to become one of the most recognizable chairs in mid-century modern design.
Eero Saarinen is one of the 20th century’s most well known and respected designers. He is known for his ability to adapt his style to each specific project and for designing in terms of setting rather than form. His Tulip Chair is the perfect example of this, as it was created not to be aesthetically pleasing but to fix what he saw to be a problem. This chair earned Saarinen much recognition, including the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award. It remains popular today, adding a distinct and recognizable complement to the modern home.
The Saarinen Tulip Chair lets you customize your own version of this modern classic. Its upholstered cushion is available in your choice of fabric or leather, with great choices available in each. It features a fiberglass frame that is met by your choice of a fiberglass or cast aluminum base. The Saarinen Tulip Chair is great for adding a hint of retro style to the kitchen, living room, or anywhere else that needs something new.
