Marco Manders’ Fantastic Rotomolded Tulip-Inspired Public Seating

Dutch designer Marco Manders used the country’s signature flower as inspiration for this outdoor chair:

The rotomolded Tulpi-Seat (not a typo, he spells it “Tulpi”) folds up to keep dry in the rain. Made from LDPE and 100% recyclable, it can pivot on its stainless steel stalk.

“The Tulpi-seat is maintenance free – no sealing or extra protection paint is required. It will not stain from bird, animal droppings, borehole water or oil/fat. It does not rot, crack, warp, splinter or decay. The Tulpi-seat is non-porous and absorption-resistant which prevents mould, mildew, fungi or moss growth. It is resistant to corrosive substances, oils and fuels, insects, sea salt spray and other environmental stresses.”


“The product is non-porous and will not absorb glue, the material is paint-resistant and grafitti-proof.”
