The Elliptical Tulip Table
inspired by Eero
Saarinen
(click here for a biography)
Eero Saarinen's pedestal tables for the 1956 Knoll Collection solved a particular design problem: "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, uneasy world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." The result was an iconic expression of modernism which has been included in museum collections around the world.
Often it is the simplest idea that makes the biggest impact. And this is certainly the case with Eero Saarinen's Tulip Table. Designed in 1956, Saarinen's idea was to eliminate the table legs, thus each
table design is elegantly supported by a single stem connected to a curved base. Eero Saarinen succeeded in distilling modern dining designs into sculptural, holistic structures.
This table is manufactured with fibreglass which is a very strong and malleable material which allows the designer to incorporate curves and twists. Our lacquered paint finish is of a very high standard and there is no ‘thinning’ on the curves or corners.
Parker Knoll’s original Tulip Table had a metal base and a choice of tops: veneered wood, marble or melamine resin. Although true to the shape, our version is manufactured totally from fiberglass so it is moderately priced but still robust.
