The Saarinen Tulip Tables and Chairs all share the advantage of the unique pedestal base which allows for more freedom of movement than traditional 4-legged tables. What Saarinen referred to as the “unrestful world” beneath is gone, replaced by a slim and elegant base. The Saarinen Tulip Dining Table is available in a white or black laminate finish.
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.
