For your consideration is the iconic mid-century Tulip pedestal side table design, created by Eero Saarinen for Knoll in 1958. It features a circular walnut laminate top and a sculptural aluminum tulip pedestal base. A timeless, minimalist design that works beautifully in any modern setting and is a staple of Modernist design.
Eero Saarinen designed the famous table as part of his “Pedestal Collection” series, with the primary objective of creating a piece of furniture that was both extremely functional and versatile, yet elegant and devoid of superfluous components. It is characterized by a top that seems to float in balance on a thin, tulip-shaped base, hence the name Tulip, designed to eliminate the “problem” of table legs and to offer a sensation of lightness and visual continuity.
