The Knoll Saarinen Tulip Chair with Black Base is a distinctive piece of mid-century design, created by Eero Saarinen in 1957. Frustrated by the visual clutter of conventional table and chair legs, Saarinen developed his Pedestal Collection around a single supporting base, giving each piece a smooth, uninterrupted profile.
Eero Saarinen was born to famous parents from the design world, architect Eliel Saarinen and textile artist Loja Saarinen. It came as no surprise that Eero was helping his father design furniture and fixtures for the Cranbrook campus by the time he was in his teens. In 1929 Eero left for Paris where he studied sculpture before enrolling in the Yale architecture program the following year. In 1934, he returned to Michigan to teach at Cranbrook, work on furniture designs, and practice architecture with his father. It was at Cranbrook that Saarinen met Charles Eames. The two young men, both committed to the exploration of potential new materials and processes, quickly became great friends, pushing each other creatively while collaborating on several projects. His most iconic design is the Knoll Tulip Table, a true Design Classic.
