Eero Saarinen's tables, designed in the 1950s, are among the cult pieces of furniture in the history of design. Here, Knoll International aims to free up space under the table and under the chair, thus suggesting freedom of movement. The idea of this table is simple, but the result is an elegant, timeless table that has lost its four legs and exchanged them for a well-made base. The Saarinen table is a solution imagined by Eero Saarinen, against the "ugly, confusing and troubled world". Timeless, copied but never equaled, it combines sobriety and elegance and finds its place in any type of interior. The Saarinen table is equally at home in a dining room or a conference room. With its shape reminiscent of a tulip, softening and embellishing interiors, its silhouette is recognizable, and is therefore considered among the classics of design. The top of the Saarinen table is characterized by a beveled edge that accentuates its lightness, whatever its size. The frame is made of cast aluminum and is covered with a Rilsan surface coating.
