Eero Saarinen Tulip Chair by Rudi Italia, Red Leather
Eero Saarinen Tulip Chair by Rudi Italia, Red Leather
Eero Saarinen designed the Tulip chair as part of his pedestal furniture collection in the mid-1950s. Its sculptural central base creates the clean, unified silhouette that became one of the defining forms of modern furniture design.
This is an authentic licensed Tulip chair manufactured in Italy by Rudi Bonzanini under licence to produce Eero Saarinen's original design. It is part of Rudi's recognised Italian production rather than a later unlicensed reproduction.
The chair combines a white plastic shell with a cast aluminium pedestal base and a removable seat cushion upholstered in red leather.
The chair is in excellent vintage condition, with no notable faults. The shell, base and leather upholstery are all very well preserved.
Four chairs are available and sold individually.

Material-aware guidance Care for this piece
Based on the materials stated in this piece’s product information. Vintage finishes vary, so test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather
Dust with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Use only a leather product suitable for the known finish, after a hidden-area test; avoid soaking, household sprays and repeated conditioning.
Textile upholstery
Vacuum gently with a clean upholstery attachment on low suction. Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth—do not rub or soak. For older, unknown or stubborn stains, use a professional upholstery cleaner.
Metal
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads, metal polish and harsh chemicals; these can remove plating, paint or an established patina.
Plastic
Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap, then dry gently. Avoid alcohol, acetone, strong solvents, abrasive cleaners and rough paper, which can haze or scratch vintage plastics.
