Tulip Chair Eero Saarinen 1956

In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said 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 and obliterated the "slum" by creating a base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid.

The platinum enamel has a clear satin finish, while the black and white frames are reinforced bonded finishes that maintain their gloss through years of use. The comfortable Tulip Armless Chair has a swivel seat with a padded cushion.
