saarinen side table with polished chrome top
by Eero Saarinen, from Knoll
saarinen side table with polished chrome top
Design Eero Saarinen, 1957
Cast aluminum base, chrome-plated steel top
Made by Knoll
In his purist approach to design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought out the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution. "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," explained Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." In his pedestal collection, which includes a dining, coffee and side table, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity: "Every significant piece of furniture has a holistic structure." Winner of the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award.
Construction notes: Base is constructed from molded cast aluminum polished and coated in tough, abrasion-resistant rilsan finish (black & white).
* Polished chrome top: Chrome-plated steel with a curved edge. Please note the chrome-plated finish is non-coated and therefore vulnerable to scratching. Knoll recommends using felt pads underneath objects placed on the surface and coasters underneath glassware. Please polish the surface using a soft cloth. Chrome tops are not suitable for outdoor use.
height: 13.75" or 20" h | base: 10.7" or 13.5" dia.
round sizes: 16.25" dia. or 20" dia.
oval size: 22.5" w | 15" d

Eero Saarinen
Finnish-American Eero Saarinen was famous for varying his style according to the demands of the project. His father taught at the Cranbrook Academy of Art where Eero took classes and formed relationships with fellow students Charles & Ray Eames, and Florence Knoll. Saarinen studied sculpture at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris and later at the Yale School of Architecture. He joined the US Military, where he was assigned to draw illustrations for bomb disassembly manuals and to provide designs for the Situation Room in the White House. He founded his own office in 1950. His first success was the Tulip Chair produced by the Knoll company. He won the design competition for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis aka the Gateway Arch.
Hans Knoll founded the Knoll company in New York City in 1938 one year after immigrating from Germany. He hired Florence Schust who had worked for Gropius and Breuer and the two were married in 1946. Knoll would triumph thanks to impressive international contacts, gaining exclusive rights to the works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe including the Barcelona Chair. Knoll commissioned Eero Saarinen to design the Tulip chair. Artists such as Harry Bertoia, Jens Risom, and Isamu Noguchi also collaborated with Knoll.
