Knoll International Saarinen Loungetisch • rund
The round Saarinen lounge table from Knoll International belongs to a whole family of coffee, dining and side tables that Eero Saarinen designed for Knoll in the 1950s. The impetus for the so-called Pedestal Collection, which also produced the well-known Tulip Chair, was Saarinen's dissatisfaction with the tangle of chair and table legs that he found disruptive in every room. He replaced the usual four legs with a single, column-shaped base, giving his furniture a calm and balance that had not existed before. What was considered a sensation at the time is today the unmistakable hallmark of the Saarinen tables. Base and top merge so seamlessly that a closed, softly drawn silhouette emerges. Together with the fine materials of the table top, the round lounge table becomes an elegant, decorative centrepiece for a sophisticated living or reception room.
A base made of heavy cast aluminium carries the top on a curved column; the floor beneath the table remains free, and chairs can be pulled up from any side. White and black bases are coated with Rilsan, a fused nylon layer that is scratch-resistant and does not chip. The tops have bevelled edges and are made of laminate, veneer or marble. Marble is available coated with transparent polyester so that everyday stains do not penetrate the stone, with a satin coating, or, for Arabescato and Statuarietto, untreated. Marble tops are 2 cm thick, laminate and veneer tops 3 cm, so the table stands 1 cm lower with a marble top. Top and base are delivered packaged separately. The "Knoll" logo sits on the underside of the table, with a nameplate bearing the "Knoll Studio" logo and Saarinen's signature beneath the top.
The lounge tables stand at 64 cm, between coffee table and dining table height: tall enough to eat or work at from an armchair or sofa without bending down, and low enough not to dominate next to an armchair. Two sizes with 91 and 107 cm diameter, base in white or black, top in laminate, Fenix, veneer or marble.
