Eero Saarinen designed his now famous Saarinen Table for Knoll with the intention of finding an alternative to the “slum of legs” he observed beneath chairs and tables. After years of iterating on his designs, he came up with an elegant pedestal base. One of the most recognizable tables of the modern era, the Saarinen Dining Table features a beveled tabletop and gracefully shaped cast-aluminum base inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. Sleek and stylish, it enhances lounge settings for dining or conferences.
