    Notes:
  • Historique: La forme ergonomique de la chaise n'est pas sans rappeler celle d'une grande tulipe stylisée ce qui lui valut son nom de "Tulip chair". La forme de la coque fut inspirée par l'empreinte de l'épouse de Poul Kjaerholm sur le sable, puis le processus fut affiné afin de trouver la forme la plus optimale et confortable. 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.
