Tulip Chair
by Eero Saarinen
Born from Eero Saarinen’s desire to eliminate ‘the ugly, confusing, unrestful world under the chair’ caused by multiple legs, the Tulip Chair was a radical reimagining of seating. Its single pedestal base and molded shell create a clean, sculptural form that helped define the Space Age aesthetic. Paired with the matching Tulip Table, it offers a vision of purity and simplicity that still feels futuristic today.
