The Saarinen Tulip Dining Table is one of the most recognisable and iconic designs of the mid-twentieth century. Available in a selection of generously proportioned sizes, and a wide range of tabletop finishes, Saarinen's creation is rightly celebrated as one of the defining creations of the design world. 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.
A comprehensive selection of tables and chairs from the Tulip collection are available at Nest, while an extensive article on the iconic designer of the range can be found on our journal.
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.
