Knoll - Eero Saarinen - Table - Tulip - Marquinia

Tulip Table by Eero Saarinen produced by Knoll International in the 1980s

The table in question is the 137 cm diameter version.

It has a top in spectacular Black Marquina marble, among the finest marbles you can find for this configuration.

The table is still in production by Knoll and new list price is over 10k.

The table should be considered in like-new condition.
The brand is still present on the underside base and the die-cast brand on the iron base of the table reads 'Knoll International 164'.

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 challenge the ephemeral trends of the era.

Eero Saarinen designed the famous table in 1956 within his 'Pedestal Collection' series, with the main objective 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 slender, 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 distinguishing 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 suitable for modern and minimalist spaces, but can be used in a wide range of contexts, from residential to commercial or even institutional settings.

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

If shipping is required, 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.
