Ahead of its Time
Back in 1956, Finnish/American designer and architect Saarinen addressed the issue that was the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world resulting from the slum of legs underneath typical chairs and tables.'' That'swhen he devised the tulip shaped table, which perfectly got rid of the “slum” with its circular aluminum base and sleek pedestal.
Renowned worldwide as a classic of industrialism, the table showcased curved, smooth lines of modernism.
