Designer Eero Saarinen, year 1956
There is some doubt regarding the chronology of the pedestal table series, but it is certain that the chairs were developed before the tables. It has been said that Saarinen began designing the chairs around 1953, while Don Petit, Saarinen's assistant, appears to have said that the first drawings were made in 1955 and the final versions of the chairs were finished in 1956. Work on the tables began after 1956 and was the last series of furniture designed by Saarinen before his untimely death in 1961. The pedestal furniture group was Saarinen's attempt to solve the "leg slump" problem and eliminate visual clutter . from his first works in collaboration with Eames, Saarinen continued to work on the problem of "organic furniture", i.e. furniture in a single form and in a single material.
Visually, the pedestal furniture group presents an organic unity. However, given the technical limitations of the period, Saarinen was unable to make this series with a single mold and a single printed material. The base was made of cast aluminum because plastic molded in such a shape was not strong enough to support a table top or the weight of a seated person.
