Compelling Reasons Why the Tulip Table is the Most Versatile Furniture Piece in the Market

Posted by Maureen on Nov 9th 2020

The sleek Tulip Table is the most iconic table design the world has seen. And, it keeps being one of the most innovative designs to date. It’s a masterpiece borne out of the mind of a designer who was way ahead of his time. It’s a unique piece of furniture that tells a story!

How the Masterpiece Came to Be

The Tulip Table was designed by Finnish-bron Saarinen, who was saluted for both architectural and furniture marvels. In 56, he described the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world resulting from the slum of legs under typical chairs and tables.” The one-legged Tulip Table addresses the issue!

Made of fiberglass and an aluminum pedestal base with a striking luster. It boasts a round tabletop, a single leg that flares out towards a wide base. Though being minimalist, it makes a grand statement, while adding mid century flair.

Over six decades since its release, the Tulip Table continues to stand the test of time! It ages like fine wine. It’s outlived the period from which it sprang. In fact, this icon is only getting better in time. Wondering what exactly gives the piece such incredible immortality?

Its unique shape and curvilinear beauty combined with its opulence have been the backbone of its longevity. It embodies the masterful balance of subtlety, simplicity, and versatility. Here are a few other reasons why the Tulip Table is the most versatile dining table ever created.

Timeless Design

Interior designers over the decades have long admired the Tulip Table’s modern look and sublime materials. At the sime, they’re drawn to its simple form and versatile pairings. Its timeless and simplistic design allows this masterpiece of design to match every interior style you may think of, and this adds unity to any interior setup.

Fits into Every Nook and Cranny

Visually, the sculpturalTulip Table is lighter than a four-legged-table, making it ideal for small dining rooms and kitchen nooks. This visual illusion is thanks to the Tulip Table’s single pedestal leg minimizes the “slum of legs”. Likewise, its fluidity allows it to be squeezed into tiny spaces.

Interestingly, the absence of legs also makes the room feel larger.

Beautiful, Yet Sturdy

Don’t be fooled by the beauty of the Tulip Table to assume it’s delicate. It’s incredibly sturdy. Its single leg may have you second-guessing its stability, but you can rest assured that it’s as steady as its reputation. The aluminum base gives it durability, stability and strength, while the marble top is resistant to scratches. Indeed, one sturdy table.

 Unmatched Comfort

By having only one pedestal base, the Tulip Table keeps your space simple and clean. The absence of bulky legs means your guests can comfly fit around the table. People can move their legs at will beneath the table without fearing that they’ll stumble on a table leg. And the fact that no one will end up in a seat with a table leg is exactly what Saarinen envisaged.

Not Simply a Dining Table

As a fine work of art, the Tulip Table doesn’t always have to be confined to the dining room. Coming in a range of tabletops, colors and sizes, it can also be perfect in different residential and commercial settings. It goes perfectly in kitchen settings, living rooms, bars, hotels, VIP lounges and even home and business offices.

Limitless Versatility

The possibilities with the Tulip Table are, without doubt, endless. As a result, not only has it earmarked itself as a staple piece in the sphere of mid century modern design, but it integrates seamlessly with literally every style. Its sleek, unconventional look defies the typical table design and blends perfectly with different interior design styles.

We hope this inspires you. As you can see, being in the market for decades, the Tulip Table’s trendy design and aesthetic appeal have made it become a masterpiece. Ready to bring sleekness to your home with Manhattan Home Design’s Tulip Table replica?
