In his purist approach to design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought out the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution. "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," explained Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." In his pedestal collection, which includes a dining, coffee and side table, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity: "Every significant piece of furniture has a holistic structure." Winner of the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award.
Construction notes: Base is constructed from molded, cast aluminum polished and coated in tough, abrasion-resistant rilsan finish. Tops are available in laminate, coated and natural marble and natural granite top finishes. Coated marble tops feature a transparent polyester coating to help eliminate use-associated stains. Natural marble and natural granite tops feature a protective sealer.
