The Saarinen Oval Side Table by Eero Saarinen from Knoll International is the perfect counterpart to the Tulip Chair. In creating the table the Eero Saarinen placed the emphasis on the pedestal, which thanks to its component aluminium is capable of supporting even the largest table tops. At its launch in the 1950s the size ratio of tabletop to floor plate was a genuine engineering revolution: until then the floor plates of round tables were nearly as large as the tabletops in order to guarantee the stability. By breaking this mould the Saarinen dining table quickly became a design icon and remains today an endearingly popular classic.

Design Story

The Knoll Saarinen oval side table is one of the numerous coffee, dining and side tables the designer and architect Eero Saarinen created in 1950s for the furniture manufacturer Knoll International. The inspiration for the so-called Pedestal Collection, a collection which also includes the famous Tulip Chair, was Saarinen's desire to solve the problem of the "ugly and restless world" of chair and table legs, which he perceived as a nuisance. He thus created a furniture family with a single, columnar, base which through the rejection of the usual four legs exudes a new peace and harmony. Considered a sensational piece of innovation at the time, the pedestal base and table top are so interconnected that they form a self-contained, soft form. Constructed from high-quality materials and exuding the timeless elegance that invariably arises from well considered design the oval Saarinen side table is a tasteful, graceful and for all contemporary addition to any living room.
