Design: 1957 | Manufactured: 1970s

Eero Saarinen’s Tulip Stool, introduced in the 1950s, is a perfect example of modernist design, embodying simplicity and elegance. The stool features a distinctive pedestal base that eliminates the clutter of traditional four-legged furniture, creating a streamlined, futuristic silhouette. Constructed from a combination of molded fiberglass and cast aluminum, the Tulip Stool’s design is both functional and visually striking, emphasizing Saarinen’s commitment to organic forms and innovative use of materials. Its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic have made it a timeless piece in contemporary interior design.

Eero Saarinen was a Finnish-American architect and furniture designer best known for designing the now-called TWA Flight Center in New York City and the Womb Chair (designed in 1947). Knoll took all Saarinen chairs into production and became highly successful internationally.
