Posted by Maureen on Mar 19th 2020

Did you know there were huge advances in manufacturing processes and material technology in the middle of the 20th century? And, the Tulip Table byEero Saarinen was the top technologically advanced furniture piece from the mid century modern era. Isn’t it amazing? The appeal of the tulip shaped table has outlived the period from which it originated. It’s timeless!

Back then, Saarinen’s table was revered for its techie materials and modern look, yet nowadays it continues to be a design icon owing to its versatile pairings and simple form.

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. Considered a master of 20th Century architecture and furniture design, Saarinen’s pieces were adored for the malleability and adaptability of his mother aesthetic. The Tulip Table was ahead of its time!

Versatility at its Best

Regardless of your overall style, if you like the look of this iconic table, you can find a way to incorporate it into your space. Whether you need a minimal white tulip shaped table for the dining room or kitchen nook, a black Tulip Table in side size for the living room, a tulip coffee table with a trendy walnut top for your open space concept or an stumptuous marble top bar table for your bar, the versatility of its design ensures you’ll find one fit your style or space.
