The Knoll Studio Tulip Chair is a classic design by Eero Saarinen. The clutter of table legs and chairs found in most interiors was an eyesore for Saarinen. With the 1957 Tulip Chair, he attempted to make a chair consist of one flowing whole again. Unfortunately, his idea to form the entire chair out of fiberglass proved unfeasible and was therefore eventually made out of two parts: a seat of molded fiberglass reinforced with a layer of plastic and a base of cast aluminum with a Rilsan coating. Despite this, the chair appears to consist of a single piece, reminiscent of a tulip leaf thanks to its wavy forms. An additional advantage of the two separate parts is their flexibility, making the chair fully rotatable. Together with the armchairs and tables, also known as the "Pedestal Collection," the chair is a paragon of 1950s modernism.
