Saarinen Dining Table-white laminate

Design Eero Saarinen, 1956
Aluminum base, laminate, marble or veneer top
Made by Knoll

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 (black & white). Platinum bases consist of a highly resilient polyurethane enamel wet coat with a clear satin finish.

* laminate top: an exceptionally durable plastic surface. Highly resistant to most chemicals & extensive wear. 1.06" bevel-edged satin smooth laminate.
