Description from the seller

Tavolo Tulip by Eero Saarinen produced by Knoll Studio in the early 2000s

The table in question is the largest ever produced circular version

Diameter of 152 cm

With a top in spectacular statuary white marble, among the most prized marbles you can find as a configuration

The table is still in production by Knoll and new from the list price costs over 12k.

The table should be considered in near-new condition

Equipped with all its booklets and original certificates from the era and with the original base box still included


The Saarinen (or Tulip) by Knoll is an iconic table from the famous Finnish-American architect and designer Eero Saarinen, from whom the name is also derived.
Known for its minimalist and distinctive form, it is one of the most recognizable pieces of 20th-century design, designed in 1956 as part of a search to create a timeless design that would defy the fleeting trends of the era

Eero Saarinen designed the famous table in 1956 within his “Pedestal Collection” and with the main goal of creating a piece of furniture that was extremely functional and versatile, yet elegant and without superfluous components. It is characterized by a top that seems to float in balance on a thin, tulip-shaped base, hence the name Tulip, designed to eliminate the “problem” of table legs and to offer a sense of lightness and visual continuity.

One of the distinctive features of the Saarinen is its ability to adapt to a variety of environments thanks to its timeless design and elegant versatility. This table is particularly suited for modern and minimalist spaces, but it can be used in a wide range of contexts, from residential spaces to commercial or even institutional ones.

Over the years, Tulip products, or Saarinen, so to speak, have evolved into a collection that also includes chairs, armchairs and coffee tables, all united by the same idea of visual and functional freedom.

In case of shipping the table will be packed and placed on a custom-made wooden crate.

P.S. I do not ship to the United States due to logistics and bureaucracy aspects.
