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 Saarinen Round Side Tables feature Saarinen's remarkable tulip-base silhouette with a single stem base taking the place of traditional legs. Tables are constructed from molded, cast aluminum polished and coated in a tough, abrasion-resistant Rilsan finish. These Side Tables are available in three sizes. Select from wood, laminate, polished marble, satin (matte) marble and natural granite top finishes, in a wide range of colors, and base finishes in White, Black or Platinum.
Note that 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.
