Its signature pedestal design replaces traditional four-legged tables, creating a sense of spaciousness and simplicity, making the surface appear to float. The heavy, cast aluminum of the base provides stability while also projecting a clean, sculptural look. Carefully rounded edges and the flowing lines of the top enhance the harmonious aesthetic and allow the table to fit seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors. Saarinen’s quest to eliminate the “clutter of legs” under tables resulted in a timeless design that perfectly combines functionality and beauty.
