Saarinen Tulip High TablesDesigned by Eero Saarinen, 1957
Eero Saarinen vowed to address the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" he observed underneath chairs and tables - the so-called
"slum of legs." A five-year design investigation led him to the revolutionary Pedestal Collection, introduced in 1958.

Product Story Designer
With the Pedestal Collection, Eero Saarinen
vowed to eliminate the "slum of legs" found
under chairs and tables with four legs. He
worked first with hundreds of drawings, which
were followed by ¼ scale models. Since the
compelling idea was to design chairs that
looked good in a room, the model furniture
was set up in a scaled model room the size of
a doll house.
Drawing on his early training as a sculptor,
Saarinen refined his design through full scale
models, 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.”
Saarinen was assisted by Don Petitt, of Knoll’s
Design Development Group, who introduced
several ingenious methods of model making.
Together with a Knoll design research team,
they worked out the problems arising in
production. Full scale models became
furniture and, with family and friends acting as
“guinea pigs,” the furniture was tested in the
dining room and living room of the Saarinen
house in Bloomfield Hills.
