Title: Mid-century Round 42" Tulip Coffee Table by Eero Saarinen for Knoll

Description: 41.5" Round "Tulip" coffee table designed by Eero Saarinen and produced by Knoll International. Eero Saarinen (1910-1960) designed several award-winning pieces of furniture for the Knoll company, including the "Grasshopper" lounge chair and ottoman in 1946 and the "Womb" settee in 1950. In 1953 he began the idea of the Saarinen pedestal "Tulip" design, which was released in 1956. Drawing on his early training as a sculptor, Saarinen refined his design through full-scale models, endlessly modifying the shape with clay. “What interests me is when and where to use these structural plastic shapes. Probing even more deeply into different possibilities, one finds many different shapes are equally logical—some ugly, some exciting, some earthbound, some soaring. The choices really become a sculptor’s choice.” Measurements: 15" Tall X 41.5" wide X 41.5" Long United States, 1960
