Early Eero Saarinen for Knoll Oval Pedestal Tulip Coffee Table in White Laminate
-
Description
Eero Saarinen’s Pedestal Collection for Knoll is one of the most iconic designs in furniture history. Commonly referred to as the "Tulip" collection, Saarinen's goal was to eliminate the visual clutter caused by the multiple legs of traditional furniture in the 1950s. His innovative solution was a single "Pedestal" base, a sleek, single-leg structure that met the floor with an elegance never before seen in furniture design. This revolutionary approach gained widespread popularity, expanding the collection to include chairs, dining tables, and, as seen here, coffee tables.
This particular piece is a very early oval variation of the Pedestal Coffee Table, most likely produced in the 1950's. Saarinen's mastery of proportion is evident in this design, with the generous oval top offering a slender yet functional surface. When placed at the center of a living space, this table effortlessly anchors the room and invites in all those around it. The table features a satin white laminate top and a painted cast metal base, creating a clean and timeless aesthetic. As this is an early example of this table, the cast metal base is significantly heavier than Knoll's current iteration, making this piece quite sought after by design enthusiasts. This table is structurally in excellent condition but does show signs of age and wear, including paint loss around the top edge and some wear on the painted base. We have chosen to preserve the table's original finish as a tribute to its history and character. - More Information
