Knoll - Eero Saarinen - Chair (4) - Tulip chair - Aluminium, Fabric

Extraordinary Lot: Set of 4 'Tulip' Chairs by Eero Saarinen for Knoll International (Condition: New)

In this auction, we present an exceptionally rare opportunity: a set of four Tulip chairs, the absolute icon of modernism designed by Eero Saarinen. This is an extraordinarily important lot, not only for the intrinsic value of the design, but also for its impeccable state of preservation.

A Futurist Icon: Design and History
The Tulip series represents one of the creative peaks of the 20th century, born from a revolutionary intuition:
The Radical Turn: Saarinen wanted to eliminate the "tangle of legs" typical of traditional chairs, calling it an "ugly and confusing" visual anarchy.
The Organic Form: Inspired by the natural purity of the tulip, the single central leg supports the seat with a sculptural fluidity that has forever changed the history of furniture.

Manifesto of Modernism: “We have chairs with four, three, or two legs, but no one has ever made a chair with only one leg, so we will do this.”

The Exceptional Nature of the Lot: Condition and Authenticity
The extraordinary nature of this offering lies in the quality and condition of the specimens:
Impeccable Condition: The set consists of four new Knoll chairs, never used. They are completely perfect, free of any marks, wear, or defects, as if they just left the factory.
Premium Materials: The white lacquered aluminum frame supports cushions upholstered in a refined and luxurious fabric in anthracite and white shades.

Certificate of Authenticity: Each piece is guaranteed by the Knoll label and the Knoll trademark stamped under the base, confirming original and official production.

Winning this set means investing in a masterpiece exhibited in the most important museums in the world, in a brand-new condition that is practically unobtainable on the vintage auction market.
