Sandlake | Saarinen Round Tulip Table Base Only

Mirroring the uncomplicated shape and classic design of Saarinen's round Tulip Table base, this replica round dining table platinum base provides all the beauty and function of its iconic counterpart. In the late 1950s, designer and architect Eero Saarinen set out to solve a specific design problem when creating this hallmark table design, "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." The result-his simple yet elegant "legless" pedestal base- a must-have piece revered by modern design lovers the world over.

Features & Benefits

• Base finish options offer ample creative possibilities for table top material pairings.
• Heavy-duty molded aluminum coated in abrasion-resistant powder-coated finish for durability.
• Pedestal base allows for ample foot space of each guest and use with Wooster Chair and many dining side chairs.
• Allowance for use with up to 60" size table top allows for mid-size gatherings and comfortable seating of up to 6 guests.
• Due to their weight we do not recommend the base be used for any top larger than 60" long.

Plethora of Possibilities

If you're inspired to create a Saarinen style tulip table of your own design and only need the base to go with an existing or custom round table top, here is your solution. The base comes with four pre-drilled holes, so you may attach it to almost any kind of custom material or size top. Place an round marble top on the base for a classic choice or contrast a white lacquered top with the platinum base for a luxe look. Due to their weight we do not recommend the base be used for any top larger than 78" long.
