Eero Saarinen for Knoll Tulip Stools in Black Leather

Creator: Knoll -Eero Saarinen
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Eero Saarinen’s Pedestal Collection is one of the most recognizable forms in furniture design. Colloquially known as the “Tulip”, Saarinen’s mission was to resolve the chaos under furniture of the 1950’s. In a world where brown wood table legs clashed with their legged chair counterparts; his solution was a single “Pedestal”, a uni-leg which met the floor with such grace never before seen in furniture. The revolutionary form gained popularity and the collection grew to include Dining & Accent Tables, Chairs, and as shown here; Stools.

We have a set of 4 of these stools available priced individually, all in a glossy black finish with matching black leather. These stools are also equipped with the option swivel mechanism making them optimal for use in a multitude of settings. These stools are all-original and each has received a thorough inspection and cleaning in our Workroom. There is minor wear consistent with age and history, they are however in exceptional condition considering their age. Also available are 4 Tulip Chairs also in matching black leather.
