Description
The Saarinen Dining Table, often referred to as the Pedestal Table, is a masterpiece of modern design, created by the visionary architect Eero Saarinen. Introduced in 1956 and featured in a Time magazine cover story, Saarinen designed this table with a singular goal: to “clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home.” The table features a beautifully sculpted cast-aluminium base that exemplifies Saarinen’s talent for creating expressive, sculptural forms.
This authentic Pedestal Table by Knoll represents a piece of history. Each table is stamped with the KnollStudio logo alongside Eero Saarinen’s signature, ensuring its authenticity and craftsmanship.
Part of the Pedestal Collection, the Saarinen Dining Table resolved the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world” beneath tables and chairs, providing a sleek and streamlined look. It is a defining accomplishment of modern design and a timeless addition to any home décor. A true classic, the Pedestal Table continues to be celebrated for its innovative design and functional elegance.
ABOUT KNOLL – A Legacy of Modern Design
Knoll embodies a belief in the power of modern design—a philosophy that has guided the brand for over 80 years. Rooted in the Bauhaus design principle that modern furniture should complement architectural space rather than compete, Knoll has consistently upheld this ideal, creating environments where form and function coexist harmoniously.
Founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, the company draws inspiration from the innovative spirit of the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Their vision of a new kind of furniture and workplace design, where craftsmanship and technology blend seamlessly, continues to shape Knoll’s values and informs every piece produced today.
For more than eight decades, Knoll has collaborated with pioneering modernists and bold contemporary designers, pushing the boundaries of design. Partnerships, from Florence Knoll’s timeless works to the innovative creations of Antenna Design, Don Chadwick, and David Adjaye, have defined the brand’s legacy and will continue to shape its future.
Knoll is more than just furniture; it is about creating connections—between people and their work, their lives, and their world. Recognised globally since 1938, Knoll’s workplace and residential furnishings are designed to inspire, adapt, and endure.
