Introduced in 1957 as part of Saarinen's Pedestal Collection, it was created to eliminate the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" of cluttered legs under tables and chairs, resulting in a sleek, organic form that evokes the elegance of a blooming tulip.
Featuring a molded fiberglass-reinforced plastic shell and a cast aluminum pedestal base with a durable Rilsan-coated finish, both in pristine white, this swivel chair offers a minimalist aesthetic that blends seamlessly into contemporary dining, office, or living spaces.
Dimensions: 19.3" W x 20.9" D x 31.9" H, with a seat height of 19.3". Authentic Knoll pieces bear the designer's signature and logo on the base underside, and the BR51 marking confirms its vintage or reproduction authenticity from the 1950s era. See less
