Eero Saarinen Style Tulip Table

The Tulip Table series is a premium reproduction line inspired by Finnish and American mid-century architecture, a period vastly characterised by the simplification of everyday living. The unique single pedestal base is intentionally made from trustworthy cast aluminum so to support a heavy top without wobbling whilst eliminating the unnecessary clutter of legs underneath.

In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said he wanted to "clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home." Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table and Tulip Chair Collection. Available in a variety of materials. Our replica furniture products are reproduced to the style of the original design.

Eero Saarinen was a Finnish-American architect and industrial designer, known for his simple, yet robust designs. Born in Finland in 1910, his father was the well-known architect Eliel Saarinen. After emigrating to the the USA at the age of thirteen, the young Eero learnt his trade at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts. Here, he became close friends with fellow design students Charles and Ray Eames, as well as Florence Knoll (née Schust). Saarinen first received critical recognition, while still working for his father, for a chair designed together with Charles Eames for the Organic Design in Home Furnishings Competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1940.
