Classic Eero Saarinen Tulip side tables for Knoll, part of the designer’s Pedestal Collection introduced in the mid-1950s as a response to what he described as the “slum of legs” beneath conventional tables and chairs. The design resolves structure into a single, continuous base, creating a clear, unified silhouette that remains one of the most recognizable forms in postwar American design.
This example features a circular walnut top with a wide, gently tapered edge, recently restored to highlight the natural variation and warmth of the grain. The top is paired with the original off-white cast aluminum base, which shows an even, age-appropriate patina to the finish. The proportions are compact but substantial, with enough weight to give the table a stable, grounded feel. Priced as a sed.
