Adding a pop of color to street seating, Tulpi is a Dutch design company that has created a tulip-inspired street chair. Unfolding as a if flower in bloom, the Tulpi street chair is a clever way to increase urban accessibility and adds a sense of playfulness that is sure to inspire feelings of well-being.
The clever design aspect that stands out with the Tulpi is that just like a real tulip, the street seating closes up a night, while it also turns 360-degrees. The fold-up feature ensures that the colorful seats don't collect dirt, waste or rainwater.
Tulpi has also developed a tulip-shaped public garbage bin that is animal-proof in addition to being a refreshing site.
