Saarinen's solution of the clutter of legs was the Tulip collection, or Pedestal, which was its original name.
A design waiting to happen, it was was not until Knoll supplied the technical solution that the design was possible. Eero Saarinen's pedestal collection includes a dining, coffee and side table, as well as chairs with or without arms.
The Saarinen dining table, widely known as Tulip table, was designed in 1957 by the Finnish-American architect and industrial designer Eero Saarinen.
Due to its timeless design, the table has acquired an iconic status, and is considered to be one of the classics of midcentury design.
The Saarinen table is available in a wide range of tops, including white laminate, a selection of marble finishes and acrylic stone.
