Description
Eero Saarinen vowed to address the "ugly, confusing, unrestful world" he observed underneath chairs and tables — the so-called "slum of legs." A five-year design investigation led him to the revolutionary Pedestal Collection, introduced in 1958.

The Saarinen Side Table is a stunning piece that truly elevates any room. The Arabescato Marble Satin top feels luxurious and substantial, while the white Rilsan base provides a clean, modern contrast. At 20 inches, it’s perfectly proportioned for my living space. The pedestal design eliminates that ‘slum of legs’ issue Saarinen wanted to solve. While pricey at $2,162, the craftsmanship and timeless design make it worth the investment. Assembly was straightforward, though I’d recommend professional installation for the marble top. Minor scratches appeared after a month, but overall build quality is excellent.
