saarinen side table with polished chrome top

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.
