Chair Wednesday : Tulip Chair





















"Icon" of the 60's design, the Tulip chair was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1955 and 1956 for the Knoll company of New York City. Modern and comfy.

The chair is often considered "space age" for its futuristic use of curves and artificial materials. The design was popularized by its use on the original Star Trek television series (1966–69)
"In the late 1960's the Tulip chair played a highly visible role on the TV show "Star Trek", where they appeared on the bridge set of the "U.S.S. Enterprise", as well as throughout the rest of the ship. The bridge chairs were slightly modified Tulip chairs that featured plastic appliques attached to their back panels. After the show was cancelled most of the set furnishing were discarded into trash dumpsters.Fortunately, several of the show's bridge chairs were salvaged, and have become highly prized collectibles. An original bridge Tulip chair was offered during the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction #17, selling for $18,000."

Σύμβολο των 60's, η tulip chair που σχεδιάστηκε από τον  Eero Saarinen το 1955 και το 1956 ξεκίνησε την παραγωγή τους η νεοϋορκέζικη εταιρεία Knoll.
Μοντέρνα αλλά και άνετη,  η καρέκλα αυτή θεωρείται ότι ανήκει στην 'Space Age' για το φουτουριστικό της σχεδιασμό και για τα τεχνητά υλικά που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν.
 "Η 'tulip chair' ξεκίνησε το ταξίδι για τη διασημότητα όταν χρησιμοποιήθηκε στην τηλεοπτική σειρά 'Star Trek' το 1960. Aργότερα , όταν σταμάτησε η σειρά οι περισσότερες καρέκλες βρέθηκαν στα σκουπίδια, όσες κατάφεραν να σωθούν από έγιναν ακριβά συλλεκτικά κομμάτια , ενώ η τιμή μίας αυθεντικής έχει φτάσει μέχρι και 18.000$."

  8. Tulip chairs always remind me of a 70's era home. There are some home designs that can pull it off and still stay tastefully designed for modern times, but there are also some that look outdated and old.
