Eero Saarinen designed the Tulip Dining Table for Knoll in 1957. The name is inspired by the table’s one-legged, flower-like structure supporting the round tabletop. The base of this Tulip Table is white painted, cast aluminium and the tabletop is white laminate.
The Tulip dining table was designed to be paired with a chair with the same name. In his plans, Saarinen had decided to eliminate the “ugly, confusing and unrestful world” that is found under four-legged chairs and tables. He developed a collection of one-legged furniture which is nowadays known as the Pedestal collection.
