Saarinen Tulip Side Chair, Upholstered Seat
$2,265.00
A drop of magic — Eero Saarinen’s iconic dining collection began with his observation that “the underside of typical tables and chairs makes a confusing, unrestful world.” A master of expressive, sculptural forms, he designed the Tulip Chair with a pedestal base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid.

Details

Eero Saarinen called himself a “form giver,” and everything he designed – from the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to the TWA Terminal (now the TWA Hotel) at New York's JFK Airport – had a strong sculptural quality. In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, he announced that he was designing a collection to “clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home.” Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table and Tulip Chair Collection (1956) with its cast aluminum base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. The seat swivels for easy entrance to or exit from a table. Each chair is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen’s signature. This is the authentic Saarinen Tulip Chair produced by Knoll. Made in Italy.

Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen

“The purpose of architecture is to shelter and enhance man’s life on earth and to fulfill his belief in the nobility of his existence,” said Eero Saarinen in 1959. Saarinen’s architectural legacy communicates this sentiment of giddy potential and unfettered optimism in post-war America seen in iconic projects like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and in his sculptural furniture designed for Knoll.
