Beautifully considered, Saarinen's creation is rightly celebrated as one of the defining creations of the design landscape. With its simple frame, that relies on a single central podium rather than a number of legs, the Saarinen Table is meticulously crafted from marble and cast aluminium, with the simple aesthetic destined to be a treasured favourite for time to come. The Saarinen Table is available in a wide choice of table tops and with a choice between black and white base. The Knoll logo is located on the underside of the base. A nameplate with the KnollStudio logo and the signature of Eero Saarinen is also located on the underside of the top or on the top support plate. You can discover more about this design classic in our Design Journal, while each table includes a forty page booklet detailing the history and legacy of Saarinen's creation.
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.
