"Tulip" Side Table
Quality:
Average - visible wear & tear commensurate with age
A “Tulip” side table by Eero Saarinen for Knoll.
An iconic piece that has left an indelible mark on mid-century modern design. Introduced in 1956 as part of Saarinen’s groundbreaking Pedestal Collection, the "Tulip" side table exemplifies his commitment to elegant simplicity and innovative form.
Saarinen designed the "Tulip" table to address what he saw as the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world” of traditional furniture legs. His solution was a single, graceful pedestal base that eliminated the need for multiple legs, creating a clean and fluid silhouette.
The base is typically made from a cast aluminum with a smooth, white or black finish, providing a sturdy yet visually light support for the tabletop.
The tabletop of the Tulip side table is available in various materials, including marble, laminate, and wood veneer, each adding its own distinct character to the piece. The round surface offers a perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics, making it an ideal accent for a variety of settings, from living rooms to offices. Its minimalist design allows it to complement a wide range of interior styles. Saarinen’s innovative approach and attention to detail have ensured that the Tulip table remains a beloved and sought-after piece in the world of modern furniture design.
