Part of Saarinen's revolutionary pedestal collection, this piece aimed to eliminate the \"slum of legs\" found under traditional tables and chairs—a design problem he tackled with remarkable clarity and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1415\" data-start=\"1198\"\u003eInspired by the idea of “organic furniture”—a concept Saarinen explored in earlier collaborations with Charles Eames—he sought to create unified, sculptural forms that appeared to grow seamlessly from base to top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1799\" data-start=\"1417\"\u003eThough his ambition was to produce the base and top from a single moulded material, the limitations of technology in the 1950s meant he had to compromise. The base was made of cast aluminum, as plastics of the era couldn’t support the weight of a marble or stone top. Saarinen considered this a partial failure, hoping one day materials science would catch up to his vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1895\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003eToday, this compromise has become part of the table’s lasting beauty and structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArticle No.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter (Ø)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight (H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769\/11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769\/1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769\/30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArt. 769XL\/160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cvideo id=\"myVideo\" controls=\"controls\" muted=\"\" playsinline=\"\" poster=\"hhttps:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/0169\/products\/Boss_Bed_Detail_Alivar_Contemporary_83501ef4-93f9-4300-a1ff-67d04ea7a714.jpg?v=1470861565\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/70c9d9e6ceaf4026844cc67c11bf7505.mp4\"\u003e\n  Your browser does not support the video tag.\n\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003cscript\u003e\n  document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() {\n    const video = document.getElementById(\"myVideo\");\n    if (video) {\n      video.volume = 0.5; \/\/ Sets volume to 50%\n    }\n  });\n\u003c\/script\u003e\u003ca title=\"MVSEVM Materials\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/0169\/files\/MVSEVM_-_Colours_Finishes.pdf?v=1593200327\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial Options:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiquid laminate: special lacquer varnish with scratch-proof and spot-proof characteristics.
