Tulip table with marble top - Eero Saarinen

Tulip table with marble tops - des. Eero Saarinen, 1956

The "Pedestal" collection (Tulip tables and chairs), here showed in the marble top version, was created by Eero Saarinen to satisfy his need for order, "to do away with the chaos of the legs" under the table top.
And here are the chalice pedestals that seem stolen from the future (it is not for nothing that the "Tulip table" set the television series "Star Trek" in the 1960s).

The Tulip table with marble top has a round or oval base in cast aluminum (proportionate to the size of the top) in glossy white or black (matt on request).
The marble top is 2 cm thick and is beveled edge finished.
The top rests on a MDF under-top, able to join top and base, to be fixed by means of screws.
Marble tops are proposed "natural marble" finished: natural marble manifacture maximize the marble beauty but the anti-stain treatment does'nt protect the marble totally ( maintenance with wax based products increases the protection).
For clients requiring a total stain protection tops, a coated polyester finish can be quoted for the top : white Carrara, white Arabescato, black Marquina, Emperador, Calacatta

The Tulip table with marble top is available both as a dining table and for office use.
