Saarinen Outdoor Dining Table

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 began with his observation that “the underside of typical tables and chairs makes a confusing, unrestful world," and as he explained in a 1956 Time magazine cover story, he was designing a new collection 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 inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. Engineered for the outdoors, this modern outdoor table features a resin-free quartz tabletop. Its bright white surface is nonpourous, stain- and scratch-resistant and specially designed to not yellow over time. A timeless modern classic in continuous production since 1956. This is the authentic Pedestal Table by Knoll; it's stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen's signature.
