TULIPAN POD
HIGHTOWER / +HALLE
Tulipan is a study in simplicity — designed by Industrial Facility for +Halle with a quiet confidence that feels both sculptural and human. Its soft geometry and thoughtful proportions invite presence without demanding attention, embodying the idea that the most impactful designs are often the most understated.
This philosophy mirrors our own at Hightower. We’re drawn to pieces that not only serve a purpose but also shape how people interact within a space. Through our partnership with +Halle, we’re proud to bring Tulipan to North America — a collection that balances design integrity with warmth, and function with feeling.

Sculptural Presence, Softly Defined
Tulipan offers a calm refuge within active environments — a semi-private space designed for moments of focus, reflection, or quiet connection. Its open-yet-enclosed form creates a sense of separation without isolation, supporting the growing need for balance between privacy and participation. More than a seat, Tulipan is a spatial tool that redefines how we carve out personal space in shared settings.
Its silhouette rises with a gentle, tulip-like curve — an inviting form that feels both architectural and soft. Its compact footprint defines space without dominating it, offering a visual and spatial lightness that integrates naturally into open environments while creating a quiet moment within the larger whole.
“It’s not about shutting the world out; it’s about giving people the choice to engage or retreat.”
Martin Halle — CEO +Halle
Designed for Balance
Tulipan’s modest scale makes it effortlessly adaptable across environments. Standing just over four feet tall with a footprint no larger than a small table, it defines privacy without enclosing it — offering a quiet, comfortable retreat that integrates seamlessly into open, active spaces.
Human-Centered Function
Within its sculptural form, Tulipan combines a swivel seat, small table, and rotating enclosure with an integrated handle for intuitive entry. Soft yet defined, it dampens sound and filters sightlines, offering comfort and focus without isolation — a refined, human-centered retreat for today’s open environments.
Considered Solutions, Thoughtful Impact.
Tulipan embodies Hightower’s vision for Considered Solutions: designs that nurture both people and planet. Certified Indoor Advantage Gold and supported by a Life Cycle Assessment through +Halle, Tulipan reflects a transparent, responsible approach to product design. Upholstered domestically in North Carolina and crafted for longevity, repair, and reuse, it balances human comfort with environmental care.
More than a place to pause, Tulipan represents a gentler way to define space — one that values wellness, empathy, and a more sustainable future for the places we share.
