The Saarinen dining table, widely known as Tulip table, was designed in 1957 by the Finnish-American architect and industrial designer Eero Saarinen. Due to its timeless design, the table has acquired an iconic status, and is considered to be one of the epitomes of midcentury design.

New Finishes: Emperador Light Marble: a warm, neutral-toned marble ideal for residential and hospitality interiors. Its delicate veining and soft tonality pair beautifully with oak and other woods, allowing designers to create cohesive, sleek experiences.

Topo Noir Veneer: a tabletop made of reconstituted wood. This quality veneer is distinguished by a highly figured grain pattern with mesmerizing movement that captures the richness of natural wood.

Modern Clay: is a soft-touch laminate. Its self-edge construction gives it the appearance of a solid material,while its ultra-matte, anti-fingerprint finish makes it both modern and durable, perfect for high-use environments.

The Saarinen table design is available in a wide range of tops including white laminate, a selection of marble finishes, wood veneer, acrylic stone and lacquer. The base can be white or black. There is also a round version of this table, listed separately.

Eero Saarinen is a giant of 20th Century design and architecture, but it is the Tulip Tables designed for Knoll for which he usually remembered. Marble tops have 4 separate layers of a special polyester coating, to ensure that the marble remains pristine for many years, whilst the Rilsan coat on the cast aluminium bases is one of the most durable coatings available. You can choose between the classic shiny finish or the matt satin one for your Saarinen Tulip table.
