DESIGNED BY POUL KJÆRHOLM IN 1961, PRODUCED BY E. KOLD CHRISTENSEN, DENMARK, SECOND HALF 20TH CENTURY

The shape of the chair with its characteristic three pieces of stainless steel has lended it the name "Tulip chair". The story of the design is about Poul Kjærholm's uncompromising quest for the perfect shape. The inspiration for the shape of the shell comes from the imprint of his wife's, Hanne Kjærholm, behind in the sand on the beach. Later, during the design process, Hanne Kjærholm sat in boxes of clay to find the most optimal and comfortable solution.
