It has really stood the test of time and is now considered a "Design Masterpiece". I will never forget in Design School we had to do a two-point perspective rendering, hand drawn, of this table (the elliptical version) with 6 chairs with the same base around it. I hated that base for years, but I have finally come to terms with the beauty and versatility of the design. I particularly like the quote below by Saarinen and the fact that he referred to the legs of tables and chairs as "a slum of legs". As a designer I can totally relate to that. It is always a challenge to pay attention to the detail of "legs". <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zwfGjzyddangbgeMlP4ExTADjolv-bGOJ7ko3gRnZdqKDT1bqo3KccQF9YdaQ6m5X_sZX2da5ICyBecUagH9zdgRpc2ST843bs_CokDOSzcoso8TH_pMzMF02u380Hv_wh2D4JV9SxC1/s1600-h/KLL1062_m4.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjheARV6v8Y0LfQXaT54h2hfsCi8Fa2AgeAOxhiMzuqXxFXQVo_KVpFe_9FN4rCUToyHyMNyH4vbzo7Wmk8vVXgzZBmzG9y1fXGB-0YyIwRMWk2D5YCuYTIBqztRpTWnZ1yVhT4eFnHwDsC/s1600-h/SaarinenOvalCoffee%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="Knoll Saarinen Table " border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJpdPXqFOLAb5juUW3PvnteowoIPjn8zetSJH35IGRRbNRrIXpYuKZ-1lbUnrgrQHUc3gzSdvyVHAJmyCCTiPy3ywRNvew-K9SVAD_N_srs-OHGn4ybJ9328J95d61N-8DAnyRcInJu2Ig/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="151" /></a> Knoll Saarinen Table "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," said esteemed Finnish designer Eero Saarinen.
