Saarinen Dining Table

Eero Saarinen
$$ 1957

With the Pedestal Collection, Eero Saarinen resolved the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" underneath tables and chairs. The collection is a defining accomplishment of modern design and a timeless addition to your home—a true classic. 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.

Krusin Side Table

Marc Krusin
$ 2009

Drawing inspiration from traditional designs, but asserting itself with an industrialized craft aesthetic, the Krusin Table complements the Krusin lounge and side chairs. Like the chairs, the tables leave no joint unresolved and no angle unconsidered, resulting in a subtle elegance that harmonizes with any setting. The base, available in a broad array of natural woods, with low-sheen and polished finishes, can be paired with a matching wood top or clear glass, leather or a variety of stones.

The theme of the tray, in white, black or with a copper finish, is picked up to create three tables, whose lightness results from the steel frame. They can even be stacked. A fourth model, which is higher than the others, offers an extremely convenient surface when placed by the sofa.
