1957 Saarinen Tulip Stool

Eero Saarinen vowed to address the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world” he observed underneath chairs and tables -- the so-called "slum of legs." A five-year design investigation led him to the revolutionary Pedestal Collection, including the Tulip Stool.
The Saarinen Tulip Stool, is available with a white or black rilsan coated cast aluminium base with seat upholstered in fabric or leather.

Finish designer Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) graduated from Yale School of Architecture, joining his father’s Ann Arbor practice to become Saarinen and Saarinen. He taught design at the Cranbrook Academy, the birthplace of American modernism, and had a long career designing for Knoll, which produced his iconic Womb and Tulip chairs. His TWA terminal in New York is a landmark mid-century modern building, recently converted to a hotel.

Umasi, light that moves through space.
A floor and suspension luminaire for diffuse indoor illumination, Umasi brings softness to the space as light passes through three paper-covered PETG shades, dissolving shadows and smoothing outlines. With a shade that travels along the wire from ceiling to floor, Umasi is designed to adapt to the architecture and create a quiet sense of warmth and familiarity.
