With the observation that "the underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing unrestful world", Eero Saarinen set out to distil modern dining designs into sculptural, holistic structures. The result was his award-winning pedestal collection, which included the Tulip set of tables, which are known for the designs' exquisite cast aluminium bases. Our version of this classic table is available with a black Marquinia, white Carrara marble or white or black laminate top. White cast aluminium lacquered base. Made in Italy.

| Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was the son of architect Eiliel Saarinen, Director of Cranbrook Academy of Arts. He was a student of fine arts in Paris and then architecture at Yale before working with Norman Bel Geddes to design furniture and practicing architecture with his father in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He met Charles Eames at Cranbrook and collaborated with Eames on several projects, including a plywood leg splint for the U.S. Army. He opened his own practice in Ann Arbor in 1950. Great buildings for which he is known are Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. and the TWA Terminal at Kennedy International Airport in New York. He has received several awards and has been the subject of many exhibitions. |
