Tulip Dining Table | Round | White Base
Tulip Dining Table | Round | White Base by Eero Saarinen for Knoll.
The Tulip round dining table, created in 1957, is a design classic. With the Pedestal Collection, Eero Saarinen vowed to eliminate the "slum of legs" found under chairs and tables with four legs. He drew on his early training as a sculptor, refining his designs through to full-scale models, endlessly modifying the shape with clay.
'What interests me is when and where to use these structural plastic shapes. Probing even more deeply into different possibilities one finds many different shapes are equally logical—some ugly, some exciting, some earthbound, some soaring. The choices really become a sculptor’s choice.'
