This super little addition to the tulip range is
the perfect accompaniment to either a full tulip dining suite or any
lounge, dining room, conservatory and bedroom! The Tulip marble side table offers
sleek good looks with maximum functionality.
The Side Table is available in a White Carrera Marble finish and
is made from a heavy cast base for durability and stability with a resin and
white paint 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”. |
