Saarinen Outdoor Dining Table

With the Pedestal Collection, Eero Saarinen resolved the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" underneath tables and chairs. The collection is a defining accomplishment of modern design. All-weather hardware and an engineered stone top ready the classic Saarinen Table for life outside—a modern focal point for any outdoor setting.In his purist approach to architecture and design, Eero Saarinen sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution. One of the most exemplary examples of which is the one-legged design of his Pedestal Collection. These effortlessly majestic pieces came from his desire to eliminate the confusion caused by “the slum of legs” underneath typical chairs and tables. The Saarinen Table has since become a symbol of mid-century modern design and mainstay of the Knoll design legacy.
