Saarinen Dining Table - 78 in. Oval
In a 1956 cover story in
Time
magazine, Eero Saarinen said he was designing a collection to "clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home." Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table and Tulip™ Chair Collection (1956) and obliterated the "slum" by creating a cast aluminum base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. The base has an abrasion-resistant Rilsan® finish. Pedestal Tables come in a variety of materials (veneer, marble and laminate) and sizes (side, coffee and 35-96" dining tables).
Each piece is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen’s signature. This table is manufactured by Knoll® according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. Made in Italy.
Due to size, weight and fragility, the Dining Table must ship with our White Glove delivery service.

Eero Saarinen
Although Eero Saarinen made his reputation in the United States following World War II, he had his roots in Europe. Until 1923, he lived in Finland with his mother, textile artist Loja Saarinen, and his father, the renowned architect and town planner, Eliel Saarinen. For Eero, architecture was a discipline like the fine arts, and in particular, sculpture. He called himself a "form giver" and everything he designed had a strong sculptural quality.
Saarinen began his career as a student at Yale University...
