The Tulip Chair was introduced in 1957. Eero Saarinen wanted to create furniture that would &#034;clean up the slum of legs.&#034; The result was the Tulip Chairs, stool, and a series of tables all with a pedastal base. The chair is made from molded fibreglass and has a swivel seat.

The tulip stool went into production in 1957 and had its 50th anniversary in 2007. The stool has a swivel seat that has a padded cushion. It was designed at the same time as Saarinen&#039;s famous Tulip Chair. Saarinen wanted to create furniture without legs. As a result the chairs he designed during this period, as well as the tables, were designed with a pedastal base.

The Tulip chair was designed in 1956 for the Knoll company of New York City. Designed primarily as a chair to match the complementary dining table,  the chair has the smooth lines of modernism and is experimental with materials. The chair is considered a classic of industrial design. It is also  considered to represent the &#034;space age&#034; for its curves and use of materials.

	                In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said he was designing a collection to &#034;clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home.&#034; Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table and Tulip Chair Collection and obliterated the &#034;slum&#034; by creating a cast aluminum base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. These pieces went into production in 1957.
