Saarinen Side Table, White Rilsan Base, Marble Arabescato, white with grey veining, Ø41, H51 cm

Designed by Eero Saarinen in 1957, this side table belongs to the Saarinen Pedestal Collection. Its round Arabescato marble top and single sculptural pedestal bring a composed, architectural presence to a living room, reading corner or bedside setting. The central support gives the table a clear, uninterrupted profile, with the veined stone providing a natural point of visual interest.

The white Arabescato marble is marked by grey veining, so each top carries the distinctive pattern of the stone. A satin finish and transparent protective coating preserve the character of the marble while giving the surface a considered finish. Beneath it, the glossy white Rilsan-coated base continues the light palette and offers a smooth contrast to the stone’s natural pattern.

Saarinen’s design balances a memorable silhouette with the everyday purpose of a side table. Keep it alongside a sofa or armchair for books and drinks, or use it as a compact accent beside a bed. Its restrained colour scheme works readily with both warm and cool interiors, while the sculptural pedestal lends definition without relying on a conventional four-legged frame.
