The little tulip is an expressive and comfortable chair designed by Pierre Paulin in 1965. And it is as Pierre says: “A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colorful”. It has a chrome base and an upholstered shell that makes it look like a half-opened tulip. The fabric that dresses the sit and back is a soft one as are the colors in which this chair is produced – tulip colors. Dimensions: 29.1″ h 28.3″ w 18.1″ seat height
