Editor's notes
The tulip table is a staple in most French homes. It's the perfect complement to a traditional sofa, or a linen covered bed.
About the Tulip Table
The Knoll Tulip Table is an iconic piece of furniture designed by Finnish-American architect and designer Eero Saarinen in 1956. It's celebrated for its innovative pedestal base and sleek, minimalist design.
This table is characterized by the following features and qualities:
Pedestal Base: The most distinctive feature of the Tulip Table is its single, central pedestal base, which supports the tabletop. This base replaces the traditional four-legged design, creating a sense of space and openness underneath the table.
Sculptural Aesthetics: Saarinen's design was driven by his desire to eliminate the "slum of legs" found under traditional tables. The streamlined, sculptural base is not only functional but also a work of art in its own right.
Versatility: The Tulip Table comes in various sizes and shapes, including round, oval, and coffee table versions, making it adaptable to different spaces and purposes.
Materials: The tabletop is typically made of either marble or wood, and the base is constructed from cast aluminum. This combination of materials adds to the table's visual appeal and durability.
Timeless Design: The Tulip Table's timeless design has made it a staple in modern interior design for decades. It effortlessly complements a wide range of decor styles, from mid-century modern to contemporary.
Part of Saarinen's Pedestal Collection: The Tulip Table is part of a larger collection of furniture pieces designed by Eero Saarinen, including chairs with a similar pedestal base, which are often paired with the table to create cohesive dining or seating arrangements.
Knoll: The Tulip Table is produced by Knoll, a renowned furniture manufacturer known for its commitment to quality and iconic designs. Knoll's production ensures that Saarinen's vision is faithfully realized in each piece.
Mid-Century Modern Icon: The Tulip Table is considered a quintessential example of mid-century modern design, reflecting the era's emphasis on form, function, and innovation.
Collectible and Valuable: Vintage Tulip Tables, especially those with original marble tops, are highly sought after by collectors and can command significant prices at auctions and in the vintage furniture market.
In summary, the Knoll Tulip Table is an enduring symbol of mid-century modern design, known for its innovative pedestal base, versatility, and timeless aesthetics, making it a coveted piece of furniture in the world of interior design.
