Knoll® 162TO-RO-1 Designed by Eero Saarinen "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," said esteemed Finnish designer Eero Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." The Saarinen collection of pedestal coffee and side tables do just this, creating a sleek piece of furniture that can fit in just about any home. Stylish and modern, the Saarinen Oval Coffee Table is a design masterpiece. THE DESIGN | FEATURES AT A GLANCE | DIMENSIONS | ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE The Design Eero Saarinen might be considered by some to be a purist when it came to his approach towards architecture and interior design. He sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. When he designed his pedestal collection, including this oval coffee table, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity: "Every significant piece of furniture from the past has a holistic structure." The Knoll logo is stamped into the base of the Saarinen tables and the top features a nameplate with the Saarinen's signature. Additionally, tables with Laminate finishes are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified. This collection of Saarinen tables is not suitable for outdoor use.
