Tulpi-seat Marco Manders orange

Tulpi-seat, mobile, by Marco Manders for Roto-Art Tulpi Urban Design in orange

There is kitsch, there is tacky, and then there is this, in a class all its own! A bright orange plastic tulip you can sit in, each badged and numbered, in a numbered limited edition no less! (the chair photographed is number 082) Award winning street furniture! Dutch design at it’s best!

quirky, original, playful, fun, entertaining

bright color tulip orange
flower, chair, swivel

can also be used without the round metal base -then they must be bolted/mounted to the floor (base-plate 70 cm diameter) and are then no longer mobile

used in the Keukenhof (internationally renowned Dutch recreation park)

stainless steel hinged anti-theft construction, weatherproof polyethylene shell

gas spring/spring-loaded seat does not stay down, assistant’s hand was photoshopped out

“the tulpi automatically folds when its occupant gets up, guaranteeing a clean dry seat for the next user”   “360 degree rotation” -tulpi.nl

these can still be ordered new, but vandalism proof street furniture does not come cheap…
