This chair is a perfect reproduction of the original:
- resin seat manufactured to the exact measurements and contours of the original
- the pedestal is made from painted steel
- the base of the pedestal has rubber protectors
- the seat fixes to the pedestal via a steel disc and stainless steel bolts (the revolving action is therefore true and smooth)

- the cushion is the correct thickness and shape
The Parker Knoll version will cost up to £700, our perfect version is only £115!
Designed as an exercise in clarifying form, Eero Saarinen's Tulip Chair set new standards for modern design and became an immediate classic in 1956.
Eero Saarinen's pedestal concept for the 1956 Knoll Collection solved a particular design problem: "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, uneasy world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." The result was an iconic expression of modernism which has been included in museum collections around the world.
Often it is the simplest idea that makes the biggest impact. And this is certainly the case with Eero Saarinen's Tulip chair. Designed in 1956, Saarinen's idea was to eliminate the chair legs, thus the chair is elegantly supported by a single stem connected to a curved base. Eero Saarinen succeeded in distilling modern dining designs into sculptural, holistic structures.
The seat has a removable upholstered cushion available in black, red, graphite or a brown.
