"Tulip" Armchair (Model No. 150)

Eero Saarinen|Knoll

1956 · Aluminum, paint, plastic, wool and nylon upholstery, latex rubber foam · Modern and Contemporary Art

The apparent aesthetic unity of this chair is somewhat deceptive. Although the chair appears to be cast from a single material, the seat is molded plastic and the sturdier base is aluminum.
