EERO SAARINEN (Finnish/American 1910-1961) A "TULIP" TABLE, FOR KNOLL, MID 20TH CENTURY, the circular gray veined white marble top reversing to an underside peg mounted to a white coated circular support and heightened by a polished and abrasion resistant rilsan finished cast aluminum pedestal stem leading elegantly down to the integral base, underside enclosing molded numbers, "1087-S-35-B" and "1087-S-36-B," pegged white board panel labeled, "Knoll Associates, Inc./320 PARK AVENUE/NEW YORK, N.Y., 10022," adjoining circular white lettered "K" red logo. Height: 28 3/4" Diameter: 53 7/8" NOTE: Part of Eero Saarinen's final design range before he passed away in 1961. The revolutionary Pedestal Collection, also known as the Tulip Series, was Saarinen's answer for eradicating the fussiness of traditional furniture forms, which he believed contributed to "an ugly, confusing, unrestful world." Saarinen's greatest concern was the visual clutter plaguing the interior space caused by "the slum of legs." Thus, each piece in the Collection, including the table being offered, is supported by a simple pedestal base accentuated only by the smooth lines of modernism. Today, Eero Saarinen's Pedestal Collection is regarded as one of the definitive triumphs of modern design.
