In his purist approach to architecture and interior design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought the essential ideal and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. To that end, hed designed the 1956 Tulip chair in terms of its setting rather than a particular shape. Winner of the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award, the chair is available with or without arms and with compliementary stools and tables.
