AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This iconic round marble Tulip table was designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll and is one of the most celebrated designs of 20th-century modernism. Introduced as part of Saarinen’s revolutionary Pedestal Collection, the table embodies his vision of eliminating the “slum of legs” beneath traditional tables, resulting in a sculptural and timeless form.
The table features a beautifully veined white soft mat marble top (Carrara-type), resting on a single white lacquered cast aluminum pedestal base. The elegant contrast between the natural stone and the smooth, flowing base highlights Saarinen’s mastery of both form and material.
The underside bears the original Knoll International marking, confirming authentic production. The table is offered in good vintage condition, with light signs of age consistent with use, including subtle patina to the marble and base, adding to its character.
A true design classic that functions equally well as a dining table or statement piece in a modern interior.
