Tulip Dining Set, 32" Table & 3 Side Chairs, Black

Eero first designed the chairs in the mid-50s, later adding the table in the early 60s. The series received design awards from Stuttgart in 1962, the Museum of Modern Art in 1969, and the Federal Award for industrial art in 1969. Known for futuristic curves, the Tulip chair gained further popularity from its appearance on Star Trek. Today, it stands as a modern classic in dining, with reproductions made of fiberglass and cast aluminum enduring for generations. Original Tulip sets made of fiberglass still survive in many homes. Initially, Eero found the fiberglass base inadequate for support, leading to a switch to cast aluminum for strength. Experimenting with Rilsan coating, he matched the gloss and color of the fiberglass. Kardiel reproductions respect original designs and materials, featuring pure white fiberglass on an aluminum base. While many reproductions use ABS plastic, fiberglass offers superior longevity and appearance. Key features include Mid-Century Modern style, a cast aluminum base with a Rilsan finish, and a 1.5-inch thick, high-polish fiberglass tabletop. The chair boasts a 360-degree swivel mechanism, ensuring longevity and ease of use, with removable seat cushions for easy maintenance. The table is 31.50 inches in diameter and 30 inches tall, while chairs measure 19 inches wide, 23 inches deep, and 32 inches high, with a seat height of 17.5 inches, complete with floor protection caps. Different cushion colors are available, and a 3-year limited warranty is included. Cashmere wool comes from Cashmere goats, with the fine undercoat separated and processed into a dye-ready premium fiber. Kardiel ensures safe delivery with curbside and full-service options. Deliveries across the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, are insured, with an average shipping time of 7-18 business days.
