Bruno Schiepan
Looking for balance
Saarinen's Tulip line inspired Bruno Schiepan, who saw it as the ideal canvas for experimentation, allowing him to break free from the confines of fabric.
Knoll embraced this vision and entrusted him with the legendary white chair with cast aluminum legs and molded seat, designed by Eero Saarinen in the 1950s. The Tulip line became his blank canvas, both a medium and a source of inspiration.
The combination of Saarinen's pure forms and Bruno Schiepan's artistic expression was a natural fit.
The kaleidoscope of colors in Schiepan's rounded universe applied to Saarinen's monochrome world created a new work of art.
Bruno Schiepan considers Saarinen's chairs and armchairs to be both sculptures and ideal supports/surfaces for his painting.
He has thus painted and continues to paint Saarinen's chairs, armchairs, and tables.
Each piece is unique, painted by hand with a brush, turning the “Tulip” into a new flower...
This collaboration with Knoll reveals work that stands out from the purely decorative.
The “Tulip” furniture becomes a work of art that blends sculpture, painting, design, and art.

The story began with the exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Bruno Schiepan in the Boulevard Saint Germain showroom.
The encounter between the purity of Saarinen's forms and the artistic expression of Bruno Schiepan is obvious.
The kaleidoscope of the colors of Schiepan's rounded universe is applied to the monochrome world of Saarinen's “Tulip” armchair to make it a unique piece, each armchair, a unique piece, thus becoming a true work of art.
This collaboration with the Knoll house reveals in particular a work that stands out from the purely decorative aspect.
The "Tulip" armchair becomes an object that polarizes sculpture, painting, design and art
.
It merges and goes beyond both the major trends and major disciplines of contemporary art.
