Description
Make iconic design the centrepiece to your living room with Eero Saarinen's round Tulip Coffee Table for Knoll. This design classic took Saarinen five years to develop in a quest to combat the slum of legs commonly found underneath tables. Its beautifully curved base and refined bevelled table top cement this design as a defining accomplishment of modern aesthetics.
Our Stylist Says
I love this coffee table for its striking Portoro marble top, which instantly elevates the look of any space with its bold black and white veining. Its round shape is versatile, fitting seamlessly into both modern and Eclectic interiors, while the sleek pedestal base ensures it remains unobtrusive and easy to style around. It works particularly well in contemporary living rooms or adding a luxurious touch to a minimal scheme. For practical styling, I’d recommend pairing it with neutral upholstery and metallic accents to highlight the marble’s richness, while keeping surroundings simple to let the table be the statement piece. Its durable surface also makes it a functional choice for everyday use without sacrificing style.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
