Description
The Tulip seating collection was designed to address the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" that Saarinen observed underneath chairs and tables. The solution he devised was creating furniture supported by a singular, fluted base. Therefore streamlining the number of legs, and in turn, creating an iconic design widely used in kitchens, dining rooms and meeting rooms.
The KnollStudio logo and the signature of Eero Saarinen are located on the underside of the base.
