The Saarinen (or Tulip) by Knoll is an iconic table by the famous Finnish-American architect and designer Eero Saarinen, from whom it also inherits its name.
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 era’s fleeting trends.

Eero Saarinen designed the famous table in 1956 within his Pedestal Collection, with the main objective of creating a piece of furniture that was extremely functional and versatile, yet elegant and free of superfluous components. It is characterized by a top that seems to float in balance on a slim, tulip-shaped base, hence the name Tulip, designed to eliminate the “leg problem” of tables and to offer a sense of lightness and visual continuity.

One of Saarinen’s distinctive features 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 as you prefer to call them, evolved into a collection that also includes chairs, armchairs, and coffee tables, all united by the same idea of visual and functional freedom.

For shipping, the table will be packed and placed on a custom-made wooden crate.
