Finished in a choice of black or white, the Knoll Saarinen Tulip Dining Table, presented here in its 107cm diameter configuration, offers a calming sense of timeless style. A beautiful sculptural piece of modernist furniture, the Tulip dining table continues to define the possibilities of the form some 60 years on from its initial conception. A perennial icon, the Tulip table is a generation straddling investment.
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was incredibly influential in shaping the postwar American modern design movement. Born in Finland Eero Saarinen was the son of architect Eliel Saarinen, one of the founders of the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Saarinen is best known for designing the Tulip dining table and tulip chairs as well as the Organic chair which he designed in collaboration with Charles Eames in 1940.
