The Tulip Table was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1957 for Knoll as part of his Pedestal Collection. Saarinen aimed to eliminate the "slum of legs" beneath traditional tables by creating a sleek, single pedestal base that flares like a trumpet. Its tops come in marble, wood veneer, or laminate, paired with a cast aluminum base coated for durability. Today, the table remains a mid-century modern icon, celebrated for its sculptural form and timeless versatility.
