Article name: tulip chair designer: eero saarinen year: 1956 manufacturer: knoll international country: germany measurements: h 80 cm sh 45 cm w 49 cm d 52 cm material: polyester, reinforced with fiberglass, and matt white lacquered; aluminum base, rilsan-coated; seat made of natural latex; cover: kvadrat tonus condition: very good condition special remarks: few signs of use. We are offering a 1970s version of the tulip from a berlin architect's household. The seat cover was renewed by our upholsterer based on the original. The piece has been preserved quite well thanks to careful handling. There is a small edge damage at the top of the seat shell and at the bottom of the base. This is the swivel version. This object: we're offering one of the world-famous classics, the tulip by eero saarinen. Designed in 1956, saarinen wanted to do away with the tangle of legs on chairs and opted for a central, smooth, trumpet-shaped base. The chair, also available with armrests and fully upholstered, has been used as a decorative piece in many films and is considered a design icon. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
