or Call to Order

A strik­ing sculp­tural pres­ence makes the Wanders’ Tulip Chair an excep­tional protag­o­nist in any setting. While re-visit­ing the classic armchair, Marcel Wanders designed the Tulip Chair with elon­gated and over­sized propor­tions. The armchair’s calyx shape evokes a flow­er’s silhou­ette resting on a bril­liant swivel­ing metal base, varnished with natural aluminum. Wander’s Tulip has a shell made of fiber­glass and resin; padded with soft and firm polyurethane foam; the fixed cover is avail­able in a vast array of fabrics and leathers. Its eye-catch­ing blossom shape and upbeat, cheer­ful appeal make it ideal in contract and private, spacious areas.

Netherlands

Born in 1963, Marcel Wanders is a Dutch designer and art director, who gained a following after the debut of his Knotted Chair in 1996. He opened Powerhouse Studio in Amsterdam in 2000, where he developed furniture pieces of his own design and welcomed projects with other international design specialists. Shortly after he founded his own studio, he became the co-founder of the design label Moooi. Wanders invited over 50 international designers in 2014 to his Powerhouse Studio, which resulted in partnerships of over 1700+ projects for both private clients and product design development. His collaborations include projects with Alessi, Flos, and Swarovski. In 2015, Wanders created a prefabricated house named Eden for Revolution Precrafted.
