Mega Tulip: unbounded possibilities and limitless configurations in one design language

Illustrious brand, nau of Cult Design unveils the next iteration of an Australian classic: the Mega Tulip by Adam Goodrum. Featuring the same, sinuous curves and idyllic proportions of its predecessor, Fat Tulip, the 2022 Mega Tulip is set to leave a lasting impression on the commercial spaces of today and tomorrow.


Recently launched at DENFAIR 2022, the latest design from nau was awarded ‘Best in Show – Furniture’ at the DENFAIR Editor’s Choice Awards.

For Adam Goodrum, it was imperative that this product was exceptionally versatile and functional as it is graphically interesting. By combining advanced engineering and craftsmanship with the individual design style unique to the nau name, Mega Tulip seeks to redefine the modern, multifaceted lounge with a modular system that caters to all individuals, while offering infinite typologies. 

Designed for the evolving nature of the workplace, the Mega Tulip provides unbounded possibilities for lounging in office environments. The new modular system is comprised of a diverse landscape of elements with limitless configurations to support the modern employee.

Mega Tulip is made of an array of independent sofas and armchairs, straight or curved segments, high back booths and more. Each piece can be moved to create private, focus zones to mitigate distractions; open and interactive spaces for more collaborative work; or casual, break-out zones for individuals to relax and restore throughout the day. Meticulously and purposefully crafted for the user in mind, there is a place for everyone on the Mega Tulip. 

Suitable for office floor, lobbies or public areas and main thoroughfares, as well as expansive residential settings, Mega Tulip is imbued with a distinctive softness and adaptability that gives it a chameleonic charm. The comprehensive lounge system is available in a wide selection of upholstery options from Kvadrat Maharam, allowing the individual to customise it to suit their own design style. 

Established in 2017 by Richard Munao of Cult Design, nau is a leading purveyor of furniture, lighting and accessories. The in-house design arm honours Australia’s evolving design culture and landscape with its extensive portfolio of designs from an awe-inspiring collective of the country’s most prolific creatives. Inspired by the intricate details of the Australian lifestyle, nau utilises and embraces the country’s natural landscapes and the remarkable array of materials. 

Operating on a future-focused, open-minded and resourceful design philosophy, nau continues to celebrate its collaborative design relationship with local designers such as Adam Goodrum. 

The new Mega Tulip by Adam Goodrum for nau is available through Cult Design.
