Marcel Wanders has always treated furniture as a form of storytelling, and the Tulip Armchair is among his most legible sentences. Its silhouette draws from the geometry of a flower in bloom, the shell expanding outward in a calyx form that is both architecturally bold and surprisingly intimate at human scale. The shell is constructed from fibreglass and resin, padded with a layered combination of soft and firm polyurethane foam. That pairing is deliberate: the outer presence reads as sculpture, while the interior rewards its occupant with genuine comfort.

The result is a chair that holds its own as an object, and earns its place through use.
