Professor Ergo's Thoughts:
Designer Eero Saarinen broke the side chair down to its most essential parts when creating the award-winning and world-renowned Knoll Tulip Chair. The Tulip Chair is simple and minimalistic, but it's also high on style and comfort. You can tailor the chair to best suit your decor with several different fabric options for the comfortable seat pad and three sleek frame finishes.

Our Customers Say ...
I received the chairs today and they are perfect. Thank you for your personal attention to my shipping snafu. In this day and age of the internet and push button instant gratification, we sometimes forget that the real value is not in a price that is 1% better. It's in the value added by empathetic people who really try to help. Maybe you should create a company tag line like "Real humans providing great human solutions."
