Tulip™ Chair Armless

Designed by Eero Saarinen

Starting from €1910

Eero Saarinen vowed to address the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" he observed underneath chairs and tables — the so-called "slum of legs." A five-year design investigation led him to the revolutionary Pedestal Collection, and the Tulip Armless Chair is its most compact and essential piece: a single moulded fiberglass shell forming both seat and back without arms, set on a single cast-aluminium pedestal base in White or Black Rilsan® paint, measuring 20"W × 21.25"D × 32"H with an 18.5" seat height. It is the definitive dining chair of the Pedestal Collection — the piece Saarinen designed to sit four, six, or eight around the Saarinen round or oval table, and the piece that makes any dining room into a complete Pedestal Collection interior. Upholstery seat cushion available across the full range of KnollTextiles and Spinneybeck Leathers; optional swivel base available.

Dining rooms — with any Saarinen table

Designed specifically for the Saarinen Dining Table; four around a 42" round, six around a 47" or 54", and eight around a 60" round or 78" oval create the complete Pedestal Collection composition.

Café & contract dining

Compact 20" width, contract-grade fiberglass shell, GREENGUARD certification, and continuous production since 1958 make it a benchmark hospitality chair.

Conference & meeting rooms

With the optional swivel base, the chair functions as a refined meeting chair with significantly more visual elegance than conventional task seating.

Education & institutional settings

Durable fiberglass shell, compact footprint, and GREENGUARD certification make it suited to seminar, classroom, and institutional dining environments.

The Tulip Armless Chair is the simplest object in the Pedestal Collection, and possibly the most important. Without arms, the chair visually recedes — allowing the Saarinen table to lead the composition. Four or six Tulip Armless Chairs around a white Saarinen round table create one of the purest furniture arrangements of the twentieth century: every element reduced to a single stem rising from the floor.

At 20" wide, the molded fiberglass shell is compact enough to seat six comfortably around a 47" round table without crowding — something most conventional dining chairs cannot achieve because of their leg geometry. At 18.5" seat height, the chair works naturally with standard dining and café table heights. With the swivel base option, it becomes a fully capable meeting chair.

✦ Designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll, 1957

Saarinen developed the Pedestal Collection through years of sketches, scale models, and full-size clay studies. His goal was to eliminate what he described as the “slum of legs” beneath conventional tables and chairs. The Tulip Chair remains one of the defining works of twentieth-century industrial design and is part of the permanent design language of Knoll.

Dining rooms — с любым Saarinen table

Стул был создан специально для Saarinen Dining Table: четыре вокруг 42" round, шесть вокруг 47" или 54", восемь вокруг 60" round или 78" oval — полноценная композиция Pedestal Collection.

Café и contract dining

Компактная ширина 20", contract-grade fiberglass shell и GREENGUARD certification делают модель эталонным hospitality-стулом, выпускаемым с 1958 года.

Conference & meeting rooms

Версия со swivel-base превращает Tulip Armless Chair в полноценное meeting seating с гораздо более выразительной эстетикой, чем task-chair.

Education & institutional spaces

Durable fiberglass shell, компактный footprint и GREENGUARD certification делают модель подходящей для classroom, seminar и dining spaces.

Tulip Armless Chair — самый лаконичный объект всей Pedestal Collection и, возможно, самый важный. Отсутствие подлокотников позволяет стулу визуально «исчезать», оставляя Saarinen table главным элементом композиции. Несколько Tulip Chairs вокруг круглого Saarinen Table создают одну из самых чистых мебельных идей XX века: каждый объект сводится к единственной опоре, поднимающейся от пола.

Ширина shell всего 20" позволяет комфортно разместить шесть стульев вокруг круглого стола 47" без ощущения тесноты — то, чего большинство традиционных dining chairs не могут достичь из-за ножек и сложной геометрии. Высота сиденья 18.5" идеально соответствует стандартным dining и café table heights. Версия со swivel base делает модель полноценным meeting chair.

✦ Дизайн Eero Saarinen для Knoll, 1957

Saarinen разрабатывал Pedestal Collection через годы эскизов, scale-model исследований и полноразмерных clay studies. Его целью было устранить то, что он называл «slum of legs» — хаос ножек под столами и стульями. Tulip Chair остаётся одним из главных объектов industrial design XX века и важнейшей частью визуального языка Knoll.

—— QUESTIONS

Everything you might ask before buying.

20"W × 21.25"D × 32"H, seat height 18.5" (50.8 × 54.0 × 81.3 cm, seat 47.0 cm). At 20" wide, the Tulip Armless Chair has one of the most compact footprints of any design-grade dining chair.

The two shells are different moulded forms — the absence of the arm element in the Armless version results in a slightly different shell profile and a correspondingly slightly higher seat height. Both are suited to standard dining and desk height.

General guide: 42" round — 4 chairs; 47" round — 4 to 5; 54" round — 4 to 6; 60" round — 6 to 8. The Tulip Armless Chair's 20"W footprint and absence of legs means more chairs fit comfortably around a Saarinen table than most conventional dining chairs allow.

The Armless (151C) is 20"W, seat height 18.5", no arm. The Arm Chair (150A) is 26"W, seat height 18", continuous arm integrated into the shell. The Armless is the dining chair; the Arm Chair is the dining/meeting/guest chair.
