The shells and bases are in very good condition! Not yellowed! New price for this fully upholstered version: €3008 per chair, now this complete set of 6 for only €4250! I also have several matching original Knoll Tulip marble tables available. A nice package price is possible! Delivery to be discussed. The Knoll Studio Tulip Chair is a classic design by Eero Saarinen. The confusion of table and chair legs in most interiors annoyed Saarinen. With the Tulip chair of 1957, he aimed to create a single-piece chair. His idea of making the chair entirely from fibreglass was not feasible, so it was made in two parts: a moulded fibreglass seat reinforced with a layer of plastic and a cast aluminium base with a Rilsan coating. Nevertheless, the chair appears as a single piece, with undulating shapes reminiscent of a tulip petal. Along with the armchairs and tables, also known as the "Pedestal Collection", the chair is an example of 1950s modernism.
