Tulip

The Tulip table with laminate top and aluminium base is part of the famous collection designed by Eero Saarinen, the Finnish-born American architect and designer, for Knoll in 1957.‎ Saarinen's intention was to do away with the traditional table and chair legs, using modern plastics, which had been at the centre of his design interests for some time.‎The Tulip table and coffee tables have an aluminium base covered in fibreglass-reinforced plastic, available in black or white.‎ For the top you can choose a white or black laminate, satin or lacquered, or you can opt for natural oak wood or one of the many marbles: ranging from the light tones of Calacatta, Arabescato and Statuarietto marbles to the colourful Verde Alpi, Nero Marquina, Rosso Rubino, Brown Emperador or Noir Sahara.‎ All marble surfaces are treated with a transparent, stain-resistant polyester protective finish.‎For the outdoor version, the top is offered in acrylic stone, while the base is made of white or black Rilsan.‎The table is available in a round or oval version and in different sizes, suitable for 3 to 8 people.‎A plaque with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinen's signature is located on the underside of the top.‎Eero Saarinen's pedestal collection includes dining, coffee and side tables.‎The Knoll logo is located on the underside of the base.‎ A nameplate with the KnollStudio logo and the signature of Eero Saarinen is also located on the underside of the top or on the top support plate.‎ CONSTRUCTIONTop: Bevel-edged satin smooth laminate, lacquer, acrylic stone, marble or veneer.‎Marble coated with transparent polyester to avoid useassociated stains.‎Acrylic Stone is a solid surface material made of aluminium hydroxide, acrylic resin and natural pigments.‎ The aluminium hydroxide gives the product a particular strength, the quality of the acrylic resin ensures cleanliness suitability for contact with food, water resistance and colour stability over time.‎Base: Original Saarinen design.‎ Heavy moulded cast aluminium.‎ Black and white bases are protected with Rilsan.‎ FINISHESTables are available in white laminate, coated marble in a wide range of colours and veneer.‎ Top in acrylic stone for outdoor use.‎Base finish is available in black and white.‎
