TULIPAN Fotel

The re-edition of the Tulipan armchair, the prototype of which was created in 1973 at FAMEGU, as one of the elements of the furniture set designed by Teresa Kruszewska. The cup-like, organic form of the armchair was the result of Teresa Kruszewska’s work on the plastic capabilities of plywood, which she had already begun in the 1950s. This unusual sense of form and simultaneous conscious thinking about aesthetics and proper construction, characteristic of the designer, is the influence of famous Polish designers associated with Spółdzielnia Artystów [the Cooperative of Artists] “Ład” and Alvar Alto. Simplicity, naturalness, accuracy of solutions and functionality in the care of a child, an adult, an old man – these ideas guided the design of Teresa Kruszewska.
