Product description
Set of 6 Tulip Dining Chairs by Maurice Burke for Arkana.
This elegant set of six Tulip Chairs, designed by Maurice Burke for Arkana in 1960s England, is a beautiful example of mid-century modern innovation.
Maurice Burke was a British furniture designer best known for his Space Age–inspired seating designs of the 1960s and 1970s.
Working closely with the manufacturer Arkana, he became widely recognized for his elegant Tulip-style chairs made from molded fiberglass.
His work reflects the futuristic optimism of the era, combining sculptural forms with modern materials and innovative production techniques
Crafted in white fiberglass, these chairs showcase the iconic pedestal base and flowing organic lines that define the Tulip design.
The sculptural silhouettes create a light, futuristic presence while maintaining exceptional comfort and functionality.
Four of the six chairs feature a swivel base, offering flexibility and ease of movement, while the other two remain fixed.
Each chair is fitted with its original red seat cushion, upholstered in the authentic fabric, adding a vibrant contrast to the crisp white shells.
The bold red accents enhance the Space Age character of the design and bring warmth to the overall aesthetic.
One chair has been professionally restored, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the set while preserving its original character.
A rare and stylish ensemble, this set of six Maurice Burke Tulip Chairs is perfect for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking an authentic 1960s statement piece with timeless appeal.
Price is for the set.
