This amazing dining table would transform any living space into cutting
edge space age design despite the fact Eero Saarinen first designed this
way ahead of its time in the 1950s! These beautiful organic shapes look
truly stunning and would be a lavish talking point for any modern,
contemporary or simply stylish home! This is the smaller of the Tulip
tables and at 90cm it comfortably seats 4.
Available in either a White Fibreglass Laminate top or a White Carrera
Marble.
The table is made from a cast base
for durability and stability with a resin and white paint or marble finish.
This Table goes well with any of the chair designs on the dining page
but especially the Saarinen tulip chairs of the same name.
Eero Saarinen designed the Tulip range in the 1950’s, at the peak of his
career. He developed the Tulip series as part of his designs for
“organic furniture” with which he aimed to restore formal order to the
interior setting. Ever since his time working with Charles Eames, he
found a fascination creating “organic furniture,” that is furniture in a
single form made from a single material. Saarinen’s vision was to free
the interior space from the "sea of legs" that he thought created visual
clutter. While his ideal was to construct his individual Tulip pieces
from a solitary piece of moulded plastic, it was soon realized that it
would be difficult to execute. Instead he focused on the graceful form
and made the sacrifice of having an aluminium base that was necessary
for proper support. The Tulip table and chair represents Saarinen's
execution of his ideal “organic furniture”. |
