Description
Eero Saarinen designed the famous table as part of his “Pedestal Collection” series, with the primary objective of creating a piece of furniture that was both extremely functional and versatile, yet elegant and devoid of superfluous components. It is characterized by a top that seems to float in balance on a thin, tulip-shaped base, hence the name Tulip, designed to eliminate the “problem” of table legs and to offer a sensation of lightness and visual continuity.
