One of the great icons of the mid-century modern movement, Saarinen’s Tulip collection still stands firm at the center of design some 65 years on from initial creation. This particular variation is presented with a smooth laminate top in a choice of either black or white. Pair with the classic Tulip Chairs or Tulip Armchairs to complete the look. You can learn more about this design classic in our Design Journal.
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was incredibly influential in shaping the postwar American modern design movement. Born in Finland Eero Saarinen was the son of architect Eliel Saarinen, one of the founders of the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Saarinen is best known for designing the Tulip dining table and tulip chairs as well as the Organic chair which he designed in collaboration with Charles Eames in 1940.
