DescriptionDesignerSaarinen’s original tulip table design was all white color, clean lines and curvilinear beauty. The Black Carrara Marble Tulip Dining Table has been inspired by the originality of Saarinen’s concept, but designed with a twist all its own. Both the table top as well as the base have been designed in all black. The top features a beautiful natural marble texture that still manages to look sleek, luxurious and sophisticated. Nothing can beat this table’s stoutness because of its cast aluminum base and chip resistant special surface treatment. The Black Carrara Marble Tulip Dining Table is a classic design with a contemporary twist. It will look absolutely gorgeous in every kind of interior design setting.Material FeatureNEW table height 30 Standard dining table heightLuxurious, sleek, sophisticated black marble with greywhite veiningNatural stone imported from TuscanyCast aluminum base with semi glossy finishSpecial surface treatment resistant to chipping with gloss finishEasy AssemblyDimensionsSize 36 Ø35.43Size 40 Ø40.16Size 48 Ø47.24Seat Height 30 All measurements are approximations.Finnish American Eero Saarinen 1910 –1961 was famous for varying his style according to the demands of the project. His father taught at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where Eero took classes and formed relationships with fellow student Florence Knoll. Saarinen studied sculpture at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, France, and later at the Yale School of Architecture, completing his studies in 1934. He joined the US Military, where he was assigned to draw illustrations for bomb disassembly manuals and to provide designs for the Situation Room in the White House. He founded his own office in 1950, after his father’s death. His first success, the “Tulip Chair” was produced by the Knoll company, beginning a long relationship between Knoll and Saarinen. While still working for his father, he won the design competition for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, in St. Louis, aka the Gateway Arch.
