Eero Saarinen Knoll Table mod Tulip in Calacatta Marble, 70s
-
Description
Eero Saarinen, born in Finland in 1910, moved to the US in 1923, where he grew and graduated from Yale in 1934. He met Charles Eames, with whom he collaborated and won the 1st prize in 1940 for projecting a chair.
He devoted himself to researching new technologies in the use of materials, particularly in fiberglass molding. One of his major works was the General Motors technical center in Warren, Michigan, finished in 1955, in which the indications of Mies van der Rohe's industrial rationalism are felt, but in less classicist forms.
During his long collaboration with Knoll, he designed many important pieces of furniture, including his most famous "Tulip" or "Pedestal" group (1956) - chairs, armchairs, dining tables, coffee tables, and a stool: all of these designs were very successful.
Here we have a dining table model Tulip in plastic-covered cast aluminum base and white Calacatta marble top.
