tulip time...

This classic mid-century chair and table were designed by the Finnish-American architect and industrial designer, Eero Saarinen, in 1955 and 1956 for the Knoll company. The rounded form was considered futuristic and “space-age” at the time and the chairs even appeared on Star Trek!! This dining ensemble’s classic look has stood the test of time, making the design a staple in the ever-changing and evolving interior design realm. The tulip table can be paired with so many different types of chairs and still look amazing. And the tulip chairs are often used in combination with desks to create an adorable workspace. The options are endless when it comes to cushion upholstery for tulip chairs and it’s great to see tulip tables with tops made of different materials such as marble or wood. So sleek and cheerful, the tulip chair and table are one of my very favorite designs.
