Eero Saarinen Tulip dining chairs for Knoll, set of six, produced in 1979. A refined and timeless design in which the molded fiberglass shell flows seamlessly into the characteristic tulip base of lacquered aluminum. The flowing, organic shape contrasts subtly with the sleek base, creating a clear, balanced ensemble at the table. The chairs feature their original seat cushions in a warm red hue, executed in a finely woven geometric pattern. The light texture and color nuances give the set extra depth and a lively appearance. Non-swivel version (model 160/161); all chairs are marked by Knoll. The early production date combined with the original upholstery underscores the authenticity of the set.
In good original vintage condition, with light signs of wear consistent with age.
