A fantastic 'Little Tulip' swivel chair by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, Netherlands, designed in 1965, this example is an earlier one, making it ideal for collectors. Featuring its original powder-coated pedestal base with attractive age, and the upholstered shell providing a charismatic silhouette the Little Tulip chair design is famous for.

"A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colorful." -Pierre Paulin

From Artifort about the design:
As if Pierre Paulin had premonitions of Flower Power, the simple Tulip spreads its half-open petals around the sitter, inviting and warming at the same time. There is a stately Tulip with a high back, which is an eminently comfortable lounge. There is also the Little Tulip. Elegant with its low back, it is perfect for conferences, as a side, dining or desk chair or just a comfortable spot for an after-dinner chat.

This elegant Pierre Paulin 'Little Tulip' swiveling chair would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a side chair, dining, cafe or breakfast table chair, bedside chair, fireside chair, dressing or changing room chair, hallway chair, entryway or mudroom chair, nursing or reading chair, conference room chair, office or desk chair, guest chair, lobby chair, lounge chair or occasional chair ideal in virtually any setting.
