Tulip table designed by Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) and published by Knoll International circa 1960.
The round, melamine-coated wooden top rests on a central, white-lacquered cast-iron base, characteristic of Saarinen's work, which sought to purify forms by doing away with multiple legs under the tables. This now emblematic design embodies the fusion of functionality and modernity championed by American publisher Knoll.
