Saarinen | Eliminating Leg Clutter: A Single Central Column

A set of tables and chairs, designed to eliminate the visual clutter of intersecting table and chair legs: each piece has only a single central pillar and a round or oval base. The tabletop is a single large oval marble slab, the base is cast aluminum sprayed white, and the pillar grows from the center of the base and expands upwards into a curved surface, continuous with the underside of the tabletop, without any abrupt joints. The chair is also a single shell standing on a single pillar. When viewed from the side, the entire set shows only a few circles on the floor, rather than a dozen legs. Pure white background, slightly high angle. Avoid: using four legs, obvious joints between pillar and base, square tabletop, metallic base color.

一組桌椅,設計的出發點是要消除桌腳與椅腳交錯的視覺雜亂:每一件都只有一支中央支柱與一個圓形或橢圓的底盤。桌面是一整片橢圓形的大理石,底盤是鑄鋁噴成白色,支柱從底盤中央長出並向上擴展成一個曲面,與桌面底部連續,沒有任何轉折的接縫。椅子同樣是一片殼體立在單一支柱上。整組從側面看,地面上只有幾個圓,而不是十幾支腳。純白背景,略高的視角。避免:使用四支腿、支柱與底盤之間有明顯接縫、桌面做成方形、底盤使用金屬本色。
