Saarinen Tulip Collection

Drawing on his training as a sculptor, Eero Saarinen designed the innovative and elegant Tulip seating in 1957. Inspired by a drop of high viscosity liquid, the shapely base reduces visual noise. Available as a side chair, armchair, and stool, the comfortable seat swivels for easy entry and exit from the table.
