Overview
Design by Eero Saarinen, 1956.
By Knoll.
In his purist approach to architecture and interior design, Eero Saarinen sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. The 20-Inch Round Side Table features Saarinen's remarkable tulip-base silhouette with a single stem base taking the place of traditional legs. The table is constructed from molded, cast aluminum polished and coated in a tough, abrasion-resistant Rilsan finish. Available in wood, laminate, coated and natural marble and natural granite top finishes, in a wide range of colors. The base finish is available in White, Black or Platinum.
Note that coated marble tops are offered in two finishes: standard Polished or Satin. The satin finished marble creates a matte sheen that gives the top a natural honed appearance while offering the same protective qualities as the Polished polyester coated marble finish. Satin finish is not available on Natural Marbles.
Notes:
Saarinen Side Tables with Laminate, Natural Marble, Veneer or Granite tops are Greenguard certified. The Knoll logo is stamped into the base of the Saarinen Tables. Tops have nameplate with designer's signature. Marbles with a polyester coating will yellow over time. Not suitable for outdoor use.

Timeless design, high quality
By: Andrew S., Homeowner (Cambridge, MA)
Eero Saarinen designed the St. Louis Arch, the terminal at Dulles Airport, a lot of other amazing things, and this table. It is simply an amazing and timeless piece. This one is the real deal too, manufactured by Knoll with a signature name plate on the underside. It may seem expensive, but this thing will last forever. When you die, your kids aren't going to want your Ikea blatt table or whatever, they're going to want your Saarinen end table.
The Saarinen 20 inch round side table is beautiful, functional and durable.

I am extremely pleased with the Saarinen side table. It has all the elements of beauty with a streamlined appearance. The Arabescato marble tabletop and white base is a gorgeous combination. Thank you!
Thrilled to have this timeless design piece in our space.

After coveting this table for years (and unsuccessfully searching for a suitable alternative), I finally jumped in and made the purchase. Classic piece I hope to pass along to my children someday.

He collaborated on several projects in furniture design with his friend, Cranbrook alumnus Charles Eames, and opened his own practice in Bloomfield Hills in 1950. Among the many buildings for which he is known are the Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC, The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, and the TWA Terminal at Kennedy International Airport in New York.
