From designer Eero Saarinen comes the modern Tulip Dining Set. The Knoll Tulip Dining Table features high-quality marble, adding a classic touch to any room setting. The naturally occurring veins running through the marble ensure that each table is beautifully unique. Reminiscent of flower petals, the award-winning Tulip Chairs showcase elegant curves and are situated on a stem-like pedestal. This differs from traditional four-leg chair designs, something Saarinen was keen to design in order to streamline the ‘confusing, unrestful world’ under the dining table.
This dining set is ideal for those looking for a modern and unique take on the traditional dining set, something to be talked about at dinner parties and gatherings.
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was incredibly influential in shaping the postwar American modern design movement. Born in Finland Eero Saarinen was the son of architect Eliel Saarinen, one of the founders of the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Saarinen is best known for designing the Tulip dining table and tulip chairs as well as the Organic chair which he designed in collaboration with Charles Eames in 1940.
