This table has a white laminate top and the chairs have blue cushions. The metal plaque on the bottom of the table and each chair is a special commemorative plaque for the 50th anniversary of Eero Saarinen's iconic Tulip or Pedestal Collection for the furniture manufacturer Knoll.
This tag was used on a limited edition run of these products around 2007
and 2008 to celebrate the collection's original launch in 1957. Architect Eero Saarinen was a genius at creating expressive sculptural forms. From his TWA Terminal (now the TWA Hotel) at New York’s JFK Airport to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to his Pedestal Table (1956), there’s a magic in everything he created. The Saarinen Dining Table, as he explained in a 1956 Time magazine cover story, was designed to “clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home.” Later that year, he completed the Pedestal Table, which stands on a gracefully shaped cast-aluminum base. This is the authentic Pedestal Table by Knoll. It’s stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen’s signature. Tabletop made in Italy or U.S.A., depending on material. Authentic Knoll items feature the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen's signature stamped into the base or underside of the tabletop. The 50th-anniversary editions, like the one pictured, include this extra commemorative plaque.
Chairs measure 22 inches wide X 22 inches deep X 31.5 inches tall.
Seat height 16.5 inches X 18 inches wide X 19.5 inches deep.
The arms measure 26 inches tall. See less
