In the Picture: Eero Saarinen's Tulip chair
b>tags | ..in the Picture
In the Picture: Tulip chair, designed by Finnish American architect, Eero Saarinen in 1955 and 1956 for the Knoll company of New York City. It was designed primarily as a chair to match the complementary dining table.
I love the smooth organic lines, they make me think of a flower. My favorite would be the one with the green seating and preferably a vintage one... not easy to find nowadays but I will keep on looking.
The image on the left side is by Dutch photgrapher, Marc Heldens.
I'v always loved this chair, so elegant and unusual at same time.

The chairs are lovely but I can't get past those wood floors! Gorgeous!

This chair looks so perfect and will fit to more modern design and to a vintage interior as well. Honestly the combination of the photo is fantastic combining all those details from different design styles

I love them too! In fact, I have a vintage copy by Pastoe, both the table and one chair. We had the opportunity of buying 5 matching chairs, but to my opinion that would be a little too much tulips in my house. I'm still very happy with them though...
