He started with hundreds of sketches, followed by ¼ scale models. He set up the model furniture in a scaled doll house-size room to assess the design in a room. Saarinen called on his earlier training as a sculptor to refine his technique, endlessly modifying the shape with clay. “What interests me is when and where to use these structural plastic shapes. Probing even more deeply into different possibilities one finds many different shapes are equally logical—some ugly, some exciting, some earthbound, some soaring. The choices really become a sculptor’s choice.” The resulting side table has a polished aluminum single stem in a tulip shape and a table top with bevelled edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaarinen was assisted by Don Petitt of Knoll’s Design Development Group, who introduced ingenious model-making methods. Full-scale models became furniture and, with family and friends acting as “guinea pigs,” the table was tested in the Saarinen house dining room and living room in Bloomfield Hills, MI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuickship Options: Available to ship in 2-3 weeks. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite \u0026amp; Black Laminate, Arabescato, Carrara, Portoro (polished), Emperador Light (satin) - 16\" only, and Vetro Bianco\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e160TR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWidth: 41.2 cm \/ 16.25 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeight: 50.8 cm \/ 20 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e169TR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWidth: 50.8 cm \/ 20 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeight: 34.9 cm \/ 13.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e163TR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWidth: 50.8 cm \/ 20 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeight: 50.8 cm \/ 20 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBase is heavy molded cast aluminum with white or black paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTabletops in a wide range of woods, marbles and granites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHELPFUL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTabletop features beveled edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTop attaches to base with threaded rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tab-subsection\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/alteriors.ca\/cdn\/shop\/files\/eero-saaniren.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin:0 30px 30px 0; max-width:300px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEero Saarinen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinland, 1910 – 1961\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEero Saarinen, was born in 1910 in Finland and in 1923 the family emigrated to the US. He studied architecture at Yale, graduating in 1934. A Yale scholarship enabled Saarinen to travel to Europe but he returned to the US in 1936 to work in his father’s architectural practice. When his father died in 1950, Eero Saarinen took over the practice. Saarinen taught at Cranbrook Academy where he met \u003ca href=\"\/designers\/charles-ray-eames.html\" target=\"_self\"\u003eCharles Eames\u003c\/a\u003e in the late 1930s. Experimenting with Eames, Eero Saarinen co-developed new furniture forms and the first designs for furniture made of molded, laminated wood. In 1940 Saarinen and Eames took part in the “Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition mounted by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Knoll International Saarinen designed a great many pieces of furniture, including the 1948 Womb Chair, which was designed to make those seated in it feel as secure and cozy as a fetus in the womb. The Pedestal Group, dating from 1955-56, is collection of chairs and tables made of plastic and featuring only one central leg ending organically in a round disc on the floor. The very successful Tulip Chair belonged to this group. Eero Saarinen says he wanted to abolish the “miserable maze of legs.” In 1951 he designed the Saarinen Collection for Knoll, consisting of the still popular line of Executive Chairs. These chairs transformed the notion of what executive seating could be with its sculptural form and modern finishings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"wp-button wp-button-medium wp-button-border wp-button-rounded tright\" href=\"https:\/\/grshop.com\/designers\/eero-saarinen.html\"\u003eShop all designs by Eero Saarinen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnoll products incur a 7.5% shipping charge at checkout, with a minimum of $85 and maximum of $500.
