Аннотация

This article analyzes the Tulpi chair project, one of the achievements of modern Dutch design. In the context of increasing demands for aesthetic appearance, functional comfort and environmental sustainability in urban spaces, the Tulpi design deserves attention as an innovative solution. The article examines the possibilities of aesthetically enriching the urban environment, strengthening social ties and creating user comfort in public spaces through this design example. It also analyzes the principles of ensuring the harmony of design and functionality through thechoice ofshape, colorand material of theTulpichair. Keywords: Tulpi design, Dutch design, urban environment, public spaces, ecological design, modern architecture, urban aesthetics, functional architecture. Introduction: In recent years, as a result of the intensification of urbanization, adapting public spaces to modern requirements in large cities has become an urgent issue. Public spaces perform a numberof functional and social tasks, such as strengthening social ties between people, increasing recreational and cultural activity, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Therefore, the aesthetic and functional improvement of urban infrastructure is being widely analyzed not only for the field of architecture and construction, but also at the intersection of sociology, ecology, design, and psychology. Between the 20thand 21st centuries, it is observed that design has moved away from a utilitarian (use-oriented) approach to a form that communicates with society, based on ecological and aesthetic criteria. Especially in European countries, and in particular in the Netherlands, design has developed as a harmonious expression of innovative thinking, sustainability and art. One of the important principles of Dutch designers, “the unity of functionality and creative approach”, is clearly reflected inthe design ofurban publicspaces. In this regard, the Tulpi Chair stands out as an innovative project created by the modern Dutch designer Marco Manders. Its shape is inspired by the tulip flower (a symbol of Dutch culture), and attracts attention with its colorful appearance, ergonomic structure and use of ecological materials. The Tulpi chair has not only aesthetic appeal, but also important functions such as adaptation to climaticconditions, hygienicsafety and ensuring social integration in urban space. This article analyzes the role of the Tulpi design in the modern urban environment, its aesthetic and functional solutions, ecological approach, and its importance in making public spaces comfortable and attractive for people. The article examines the ideological foundations, constructive solutions, and impact of the Tulpi design on society, and provides recommendations on what conclusions and inspiration can be drawn from it for the practice of Uzbek urban planning. Main part: As one of the design examples used in modern public spaces, the Tulpi Chair project is distinguished by its originality and functional and aesthetic approach. The main idea of ​ ​ the Tulpi chair is to enrich the urban space aesthetically and functionally by drawing inspiration from the shape of the tulip flower, which is a national symbol for the Dutch. The Tulpi chair adds color to any environment. This is a great combination of design, ergonomics, and sustainability, and a 371 INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SJIF2019:5.2222020:5.5522021:5.6372022:5.4792023:6.5632024:7,805 eISSN:2394-6334 https://www.ijmrd.in/index.php/imjrd Volume12,issue05(2025) great fun factor! The Tulpi seat automatically folds down when the passenger stands up, ensuring a clean and dry seat for the next user! With a full 360-degree rotation, the Tulpi seat lets you choose your own view! In terms ofdesign, Tulpi seats simultaneously fulfill three main tasks: ensuring visual aesthetics, being an ergonomic solution for user comfort, and adapting to the ecological design of the city. Each of its elements - the opening and closing mechanism, bright colors, and the fact that it is made of durable plastic material - indicates that it was developed based on the modern requirements ofurban infrastructure.

In terms of design, Tulpi chairs perform three main tasks at once: ensuring visual aesthetics, being an ergonomic solution for user comfort, and adapting to urban ecological design. Each of its elements — the opening and closing mechanism, bright colors, and the fact that it is made of durable plastic material — indicates that it has been developed based on the modern requirements of urban infrastructure. Another important aspect of Tulpi’s design is that it can meet social and hygienic needs. The chair automatically closes when not in use, protecting the interior from contamination. This makes it suitable for use in public places — in open spaces such as p
