Furniture Friday – The Tulip Table

Happy Friday to all! This week has flown by, I can’t believe I’m already writing another Furniture Friday post. Today is all about the Tulip Table by Eero Saarinen, a mid-century modern piece created in 1956 and has since become ubiquitous within the design world. Rightly so, it’s clean lines and classic design complement any decor. Purchase the original (but pricey) table from Knoll or get a similar style table at Ikea or CB2 .

What materials are used to make a Tulip Table?

The Tulip Table base is cast from aluminum, finished with durable epoxy paint. Tops are available in laminate over an MDF substrate, natural marble, porcelain, solid wood, or glass. The cast aluminum base provides lightness and strength, while the tops add a tactile and visual dimension.
