Saarinen Dining Table 78" Oval

Designed by Eero Saarinen, 1956

Starting from €5579

The 78" oval is the principal dining-party size of the Saarinen Pedestal Collection — designed by Eero Saarinen in 1956 for Knoll and in continuous production ever since — measuring 78"W × 47.75"D × 28.25"H and seating 6 to 8 people around a single cast-aluminium pedestal base that eliminates the tangle of legs Saarinen dismissed as "the slum." The oval format achieves what neither a round nor a rectangular table can quite manage: it is more directional than a circle — it has a length and an axis, which suits a dining room — but it has no corners and no head end, which keeps the geometry open and the seating arrangement equal. Available with bevelled-edge tops in marble, granite, wood veneer, and laminate, and with the base in White, Matte Black, or Grey Rilsan® finish, it is one of the most enduring and spatially generous objects in the Knoll collection, and a 1969 MoMA Award winner.

Dining rooms — 6 to 8 people

The correct table for a formal dining room that seats six as standard and eight comfortably for entertaining.

Open-plan living & kitchen-diners

The oval format introduces directionality while maintaining softness and visual openness.

Boardrooms & meeting spaces

Seats 6–8 comfortably with no head-of-table hierarchy — ideal for collaborative settings.

Hotel private dining & hospitality

Large-format marble versions create a strong architectural presence in premium hospitality interiors.

The oval table occupies a distinct position within the Saarinen Pedestal Collection. It is not simply a stretched round table, but a format with its own spatial logic. The elongated oval introduces direction to a room while preserving the softness and openness that Saarinen considered essential. Without corners, seating remains fluid and informal; additional places can be added without the rigidity of a rectangular table layout.

At 78" wide, the table seats six generously or eight comfortably. The single pedestal base — a cast-aluminium form coated in abrasion-resistant Rilsan® — leaves the entire floor area visually open beneath the table. This absence of visual interruption becomes especially important in large open-plan interiors, where the table appears to float lightly within the space.

Saarinen spent five years refining the proportions of every table in the Pedestal Collection. The 78" oval represents the version intended for a serious dining room: architectural in scale, visually calm, and resolved from every angle.

Столовые зоны — 6–8 человек

Идеальный стол для полноценной dining room — комфортно размещает шесть человек ежедневно и до восьми гостей.

Open-plan интерьеры

Овальная форма создаёт направление в пространстве, сохраняя мягкость и визуальную лёгкость.

Переговорные и boardroom

Формат без «главы стола» одинаково подходит как для dining room, так и для collaborative meeting spaces.

Hotel dining & hospitality

Большая мраморная столешница создаёт выразительное архитектурное присутствие в premium hospitality interiors.

Овальная версия Saarinen Table занимает особое место в коллекции Pedestal Collection. Это не просто вытянутый круглый стол, а отдельная пространственная логика. Овал задаёт направление комнате, сохраняя при этом мягкость формы и отсутствие жёсткой геометрии. Здесь нет углов — а значит посадка остаётся свободной и естественной.

При ширине 78" стол комфортно размещает шесть человек и легко принимает восемь гостей. Центральная опора из литого алюминия с покрытием Rilsan® освобождает всё пространство под столом — без визуального шума ножек и пересечений. В больших open-plan интерьерах именно эта лёгкость делает стол архитектурно спокойным объектом.

Saarinen потратил пять лет на совершенствование пропорций всей Pedestal Collection. Версия 78" Oval — это стол для полноценной dining room: масштабный, сбалансированный и визуально чистый со всех сторон.

—— QUESTIONS

Everything you might ask before buying.

78"W × 47.75"D × 28.25"H — standard dining height. Seats 6 to 8 people. As a guideline: for 8 place settings on a 78" oval, allow approximately 24–26" of table edge per person on the long sides, and one place at each end. Allow at least 36" from the table edge to the nearest wall or obstacle for comfortable seating and movement — more at the ends if the space allows.

The Pedestal Collection oval dining tables are available in four widths: 72" (42"D), 78" (47.75"D), 84" (47"D), and 96" (54"D), all at 28.25" height. The 78" is the most widely specified oval size — large enough for 6–8 people, proportioned for a standard dining room. If you need to seat more, or if your room is exceptionally long, the 84" or 96" may be more appropriate. Contact our team to discuss.

A rectangular table of similar seating capacity has four legs — creating the "slum of legs" Saarinen's entire collection was designed to eliminate — and four corners that interrupt the flow of a space. The oval has one pedestal base, no corners, and no hard head-of-table orientation. It seats the same number of people with a softer, more democratic geometry. That said, a rectangle has its own merits — contact our team if you are weighing both.

Yes — the marble top is a single large-format piece of natural stone. This means the veining pattern runs continuously across the full 78" length of the top, which is one of the things that makes a marble Saarinen oval at this size so visually striking. It also means each top is entirely unique; no two are identical. Stone selection and viewing samples in person is strongly recommended — contact our team.

For marble top versions at this size, professional installation is strongly recommended. The marble top is heavy and large-format; positioning and attaching it to the base safely requires at least two people, and ideally a professional handling team. Contact our team to arrange this before your order is placed.

Yes — 100% genuine Knoll (KnollStudio), manufactured in the USA, part of the MillerKnoll collective.
