Description

The Saarinen Tulip Stool is a key element of Eero Saarinen’s groundbreaking Pedestal Collection, conceived to address the clutter of legs he described as the “slum of legs” beneath traditional furniture. Initiated by a five-year design investigation and introduced in 1958, the Tulip Stool showcases a sleek pedestal base that has become renowned for its aesthetic simplicity and functional elegance.

Crafted with a cast aluminium base coated in white Rilsan, the stool features a swivel mechanism topped with a comfortable cushion upholstered in Eva Cayenne. This design choice offers visual appeal and ergonomic support, making it an excellent addition to any modern interior.

Historically significant, the Tulip Stool has garnered acclaim, including accolades from The Museum of Modern Art in New York and multiple design awards in Germany, cementing its status as a seminal piece in modern furniture design.

ABOUT KNOLL – A Legacy of Modern Design

Knoll embodies a belief in the power of modern design—a philosophy that has guided the brand for over 80 years. Rooted in the Bauhaus design principle that modern furniture should complement architectural space rather than compete, Knoll has consistently upheld this ideal, creating environments where form and function coexist harmoniously.

Founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, the company draws inspiration from the innovative spirit of the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Their vision of a new kind of furniture and workplace design, where craftsmanship and technology blend seamlessly, continues to shape Knoll’s values and informs every piece produced today.

For more than eight decades, Knoll has collaborated with pioneering modernists and bold contemporary designers, pushing the boundaries of design. Partnerships, from Florence Knoll’s timeless works to the innovative creations of Antenna Design, Don Chadwick, and David Adjaye, have defined the brand’s legacy and will continue to shape its future.

Knoll is more than just furniture; it is about creating connections—between people and their work, their lives, and their world. Recognised globally since 1938, Knoll’s workplace and residential furnishings are designed to inspire, adapt, and endure. The company’s commitment to modern design, deep understanding of the evolving workplace, and dedication to sustainability have culminated in a unique portfolio of products that respond to the changing needs of its customers.

This is Knoll’s story—a story of design that not only stands the test of time but also continues to lead the way forward.
