Saarinen & Scott Ingram

I have saved so many images of Eero Saarinen's Pedistal Table, that I had to create a separate file to hold them all. So naturally, I was excited to see that one of my favorite Atlanta artists had included the iconic Tulip as subject in his most recent show.

Scott Ingram's "Saarinen Table/Floor" on paper.



Along with Ingram's "Architectural" series are the Nail Polish Works that have made him an interior designer favorite. Shown above is a piece in a home by Suzanne Kasler & William T. Baker.

Scott Ingram is showing at Solomon Projects through March 13th.

Plaza Towers Tour

Claire from High Gloss Blue has been sharing her fabulous photographs from last Sunday's Plaza Tower Tour of Homes. She even has a post specifically dedicated to the various Saarinen Tulip Tables in the building!

Stay tuned to High Gloss Blue as she promises there are other pictures to come.


For more on the architecture and the local design celebrities who call Plaza Towers home (Phoebe Howard & The Peak of Chic, to name a few) be sure to read this article in the April Issue of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.

I Saarinen-der

In honor of the ongoing Eero Saarinen exhibit at Atlanta's modern design museum, aka MODA, I began to prepare what was going to my personal ode to the Tulip Table. Then I stumbled upon the Turkish design blog, A Mad Tea Party with Alis, and realized there was no way I could do it better than this.

The Furniture of Eero Saarinen: Designs for Everyday Living at MODA through May 5th.

In other "Current Exhibition News", one of my favorite Atlanta artists, Carolyn Carr is now showing at the Spanierman Modern in New York City through April 5th. I promise this is the last time I show this photo, but don't the two look great in the same room?

The Slum of Legs

This sculptural, iconic table was designed in 1956 by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen.

Explains Saarinen of his classic 20th century design: "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs."

Though Saarinen designed matching pedistal chairs to go with this table, I prefer the eclectic combination of a more traditional four-legger, like the Klismos style shown here.
