‘tulip armchair’ created by dutch designer marcel wanders for cappellini is a reinterpretation of the lengthened and oversized dimensions of the classic armchair. the frame is produced in soft polyurethane and also co-injected with rigid polyurethane. meanwhile, the upholstery is made in foam and acrylic layers. the fixed cover is available in a wide range of fabrics, leathers and  alcantara®, a sustainable industrial material that is carbon neutral in its production. mimicking the stem of a flower, a shiny revolving base in dark varnished metal provides support to the armchair.
