The Tulip Turns Fifty

Tulip is a modern classic
And like so much of the best MCM work, it remains enormously popular today.
When Finnish architect Eero Saarinen developed his landmark pedestal collection, his goal was "clear up the slum of legs" that characterized the American dining experience. The inspiration was a drop of liquid, the result was the Tulip table, a curvy aluminum base with a swiveling laminate top.

Simple and effective. No wonder it's still around today. If I ever decide I need a dining table again, I'm going to look for one of these.

I've got one, Chaz, and I love it. Although I'd rather have one with a marble top.
