Designer: Pierre Paulin

Designed: 1965

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

Designer: Eero Saarinen

Designed: 1958

The Tulip chair was designed by the Finnish-born designer Eero Saarinen who was always in search of the “unity of a design”. He designed the tulip chair in 1956, being one of the first fiberglass chairs. It’s a single-legged chair made of fiberglass-reinforced resin with a comfy cushion covered with fabric or leather in various colors. Dimensions: 50 cm width, 56 cm diameter and 80 cm height.
