Iconic furniture is always a staple in home decor, whatever your style is and whether it changes or it doesn’t, such items will be a perfect fit every time. One of such pieces is the Tulip chair designed by Eero Saarinen in 1956. The Tulip chair is one of the most well-known pieces of furniture that represent modernism to many people today and it will be a perfect idea for many homes.

How Was Tulip Chair Designed?

Up until the creation of the Tulip chair, most chairs in the past were constructed with four vertical legs and a central pole that ran horizontally across the seat of the chair. Saarinen was looking for a more comfortable chair that could be used in different positions and also had a clean design. A tulip shape not only offered this flexibility but it was also timeless from one-seater to a large dining table. The Tulip chair was the first in the Tulip series. We now have the Tulip armchair as well as the Tulip dining table. So you can infuse your dining room with a plural of Tulip furniture.
