Tulip Dining Chair — One Pedestal Instead of Four Legs
Eero Saarinen called the tangle of legs under a dining table 'the slum of legs' — and in 1956 he cleared it. The tulip dining chair stands on a single sculpted pedestal, sweeping up into a moulded seat like its namesake flower. The result is a dining chair you never bark a knee against, that swivels to let you in and out gracefully, and that has stayed in style for seven decades without once looking dated.
Made for Round Tables — and Small Rooms
Pedestal chairs and round tables are a natural pair: with no leg-forest below, every seat slides fully under and floor space reads open. That same trick makes the tulip the small-room specialist of our [dining chairs range → https://myhouseoffurniture.com/product-category/eames-dining-chairs/] — where four-legged chairs crowd a compact dining area, a set of tulips visually clears it. The cushioned seat pad adds the softness moulded shells trade away, in colours to match or contrast the shell.
Tulip, Shell or Arms?
The tulip is the graceful choice — swivelling, knee-free, sculptural. If you prefer the classic four-legged silhouette that mixes colours effortlessly, the DSW dining chair collection is its moulded-shell sibling; and for armrest comfort at the table's head, browse the dining arm chair collection. All three families share the same modern DNA, so they combine around one table without argument.
