Knoll® Saarinen Dining Series with Bertoia Side Chairs - Saarinen Round Dining Table with Bertoia Side Chairs

Designed by Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia
"The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," said esteemed Finnish designer Eero Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." The Saarinen collection of pedestal dining tables do just this, creating a sleek piece of furniture that can fit in just about any home. Stylish and modern, the Saarinen collection of dining tables is one of a kind.

Having worked for Charles and Ray Eames and Hans and Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia garnered icon status as a designer when he created the Bertoia Collection for Knoll in 1952. Italian-born, Bertoia utilized his superior skills as a sculptor to bend and shape industrial wire rods into chairs that would become pinnacles of twentieth century furniture design. Now considered modern classics, the collection was so commercially successful that it allowed Bertoia to dedicate himself exclusively to his main artistic passion: sculpting. His awards include the craftsmanship medal from the American Institute of Architects, as well as AIA's Gold Medal.

The Design

Eero Saarinen might be considered by some to be a purist when it came to his approach towards architecture and interior design. He sought the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution within an overall unity of design. When he designed his pedestal collection, including these three dining tables, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity: "Every significant piece of furniture from the past has a holistic structure."

Harry Bertoia's 1950 experiment with bending metal rods into practical art produced a revered collection of seating, including his well known side chair. Innovative, comfortable, and strikingly handsome, the Bertoia Side Chair's delicate filigree appearance belies its strength and durability. In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes through them." The Bertoia Side Chair's frame is available in Polished or Satin Chrome or six durable outdoor powder coat colors. The optional seat pad provides added comfort and is offered in a wide variety of quality fabrics and leathers.
