saarinen outdoor side table
by Eero Saarinen from Knoll
saarinen outdoor side table
Design Eero Saarinen, 1957
Aluminum base, slate or engineered top, stainless steel hardware
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 heavy cast aluminum polished and coated in tough, abrasion-resistant rilsan finish (black & white). Engineered Vetro Bianco top is offered in .75" thick with a beveled edge. It is bright white, nonporous and more compact than most granites. Comprised of 93% fused quartz. It does not yellow or stain and is scratch resistant. Suitable for outdoors.
13.75" h | top: 20" dia. | base: 13.5" dia. | 29 lbs.

Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen was famous for varying his style according to the demands of the project. Saarinen studied sculpture in Paris and later Architecture at Yale. He founded his office in 1950 and his first success was the Tulip Chair produced by Knoll.
Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that furniture should complement architectural space and not compete with it. Modernism is a passion at Knoll which results in ground breaking modern furniture.
