The Tulip Pedestal Chair

The tulip is one of the most highly recognized and loved flowers in the world. The meaning of the tulip is usually considered to be “perfect love.†These flowers represent coziness and comfort. True to the flower in which it was modeled after, the Tulip Pedestal Chair, designed in 1957 by Eero Saarinen is cozy, comfortable, and loveable! It was created by Saarinen as part of his efforts to restore “organic furniture†to the home.
The classic, fresh-looking Tulip Pedestal Chair is made of a cast aluminum pedestal base and a molded fiber glass reinforced plastic seat shell. The modern chair’s seat cushion is made of latex foam and is upholstered in fabric. With only one pedestal base in the place of four chair legs, the Tulip Pedestal Chair embodied Saarinen’s dream of ridding interior space from the “sea of legs†that he believed created visual clutter in the home.
