The St. Louis Arch
and
the Iconic Tulip Table?
You probably already know but I didn't. I discovered it today while searching for photos of the arch for a project at work. I'm sure all of you formally schooled in interior design know, but it never came up in my art history or design classes.
They were both designed by Eero Saarinen. Isn't that amazing?
My Aunt Jane had this table and the matching set of chairs when I was growing up. I loved them. They were so Mod. My parent's house was full of antiques. Which of course I loved too.
But oh...how I'd love to have my Aunt Jane's Saarinen tulip table now. I'd have a dining room that would look like this.
So pretty mixed with the aqua chairs and mirror.
Alas, I believe her table and chairs are long gone.

So pretty. The dark floors, aqua, and white. Love it. What would be the chances of one of those showing up on Craigslist :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really fantastic. I love the combo of antique and modern like this. And the color of the chairs is divine!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! there's an ikea replica tulip table in my outdoor room that I posted on my blog today. You'll have to stop by. Will be following! Erica

Interesting! I didn't know that, even though I have family that lives in St. Louis and have visited the Arch museum a few times in my life.
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving that room--gorgeous!
Have a great weekend, Nita! :-)
Love the table. Great paired with the painted chairs. Too bad it's long gone!
