Eero Saarinen Tulip Table - Round Dining 54 Inch
The Saarinen Tulip Table is perhaps the most famous piece in the Saarinen furniture collection. Designed in the mid-1950s, the Saarinen Table envelopes the thought and theory behind one of the 20th century's great architects. Constructed of cast aluminum, the table flows from top to bottom and from side to side in a fluid exchange of lines. Eero Saarinen used a variety of bases and tops for various interiors during his career. The tulip table shown here is a favorite as it can be used in a variety of spaces, but is most commonly used as a dining table. Eero Saarinen was influenced by both his father Eliel and his education and travels around the world. In 1929, Saarinen studied sculpture in Paris. In 1931 he studied architecture at Yale University. Subsequently, he traveled through Europe, Mexico, and Egypt to see various significant architectural monuments. Our Saarinen Tables are a masterful reproduction of the original Saarinen table. Absolute attention is paid to the workmanship
