The
tables by
Eero Saarinen, designed in the 1950s, are among the cult pieces of furniture in the history of design. Here,
Knoll aims to free up space under the table and chair, suggesting freedom of movement. The idea behind the
Saarinen table is simple, but the result is an elegant, timeless table that has lost its four legs, which it has swapped for a well-made base. The
Saarinen table is a solution devised by Eero
Saarinen, against the "ugly, confusing and troubled world". Timeless, copied but never equalled, it combines sobriety and elegance and is at home in any type of interior. With its tulip-like shape, softening and embellishing interiors, its silhouette is instantly recognisable, and is therefore considered one of the classics of design. The top of the
Saarinen side table features a bevelled edge that accentuates its lightness, whatever its size. The frame is made of cast aluminium and has a Rilsan surface coating. Topo Noir is a high-quality veneer made from reconstituted wood, distinguished by its pronounced grain and fascinating movement that captures all the richness of natural wood.
