Eero Saarinen "Tulip Chair" Vintage 1965

QR Code Link to This Post Design Eero Saarinen, 1956 Aluminum base, fiberglass, upholstery Made in USA by Knoll In his purist approach to design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought out the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution. He designed the 1956 Tulip chair in terms of its setting, rather than a particular shape. Winner of the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award, the Tulip is Saarinen's genius solution to clearing up the "slum of legs" that populates the under-carriage of most dining sets. The Saarinen tulip armchair features a cast aluminum base with a rilsan coated finish. Shell is molded fiberglass with a reinforced plastic bonded finish. Upholstered foam cushion is removable, with zippered cover and velcro fastening. Base and shell finishes are available in white or black. Upholstery available with a seat cushion only or with a fully upholstered inner shell. https://www.knoll.com/shop/en_us/dining-dining-chairs/saarinen-tulip-armchair/7224.html This is the real deal, upgrade the cushion and you have a $3000.00 chair. $995.00 is firm
