The Saarinen Tulip Chair was designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll in 1957. The Tulip chair has an elegant, stylish design and is available with or without armrests. It has a seat made of fiberglass and a columnar base made of cast aluminum. The base is available in a fixed or rotatable version, coated with a Rilsan finish. The Saarinen Tulip Chair is available with a black or white shell, with or without an upholstered interior. A removable foam seat cushion provides high comfort. The upholstery is available in a selection of textiles and leather. The chair can be combined with the Tulip Table and Tulip Stool from the same series from Knoll.

The Saarinen Tulip Chair has won a number of awards, such as the Design Career Stuttgart Award in Germany in 1962, the Federal Award for Industrial Design in Germany in 1969 and The Museum of Modern Art Award in New York in 1969.
