Interior Inspiration: Tulip Tables

I think tulip tables are the bee's knees.

     "In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said he was designing a collection to                      clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home." (DWR)

Saarinen's tables do just that; they have a streamlining effect and avoid visual clutter in the space.  They are so classic and can come in many variations.  Whether you get the real deal or a decent Ikea knock-off this table design is timeless.
