Eero Saarinen designed the Tulip Chair (1957) at the peak of his career. His work in the 1940's began focusing on "organic furniture" in which he aimed to restore formal order to the typical interior setting. His vision was to free the interior space from the "sea of legs" that he saw creating "...an unpleasant, confused and restless atmosphere." The Eero Saarinen Tulip Chair represents Saarinen's synergy of that vision and it's embodiment in a tangible form.
The Saarinen Tulip Chair continues to be one of the most popular items from this mid-century master.
