Saarinen wanted to clean clutter from the
home, so he replaced the classic legs of
chairs and tables with a single pedestal.
The table is oval and accommodates
six people. It’s black and made from
contrasting warm and cool materials:
a wooden base and a marble top. The

Our dining room table, bought at
Journey East, is made of reclaimed teak.
We loved its detail and rustic style and
feel that the teak adds to the room’s
chic yet casual atmosphere. This is
important, because we wanted a space
where we could enjoy a long meal, or a
glass of wine and a cheeseboard, along
with good conversation.
The table has straight lines and a
modern classic look, but the natural
grain gives it variation. The quality of
the construction is excellent, so it can
be passed down to the next generation.
Journey East gave us the flexibility to
add our own touches and customise it to
our needs. The table originally combined
smooth with rough-textured surfaces, but
we wanted a completely rough finish.
The sales consultants were friendly,
knowledgeable and professional, and
went the extra mile to make sure it was
delivered exactly as we had requested.
Take your time and make sure you
know what your goal is for the room
where your table will sit. Aside from
choosing a table that looks great, find
chairs that are extremely comfortable but
also fit in with the style you’ve chosen.

The table is inspired by the original
design of the Tulip table by famous
Finnish-American architect EeroSaarinen.
It’s part of a set called the Pedestal
Collection, designed in the mid-1950s.
shape creates a feeling of movement
and space, and the colour gives depth
to the white background.
We discovered this style of table a long
timeagoand it has always beenpart of our
furniturewhereverwehave lived.We’vealso
used it in our offices in different shapes,
sizes and colours. When we arrived in
Singapore six months ago, we found our
table once again at Lush, a stylish indoor
furniture shop where we bought most of
our furniture. John, the retailer, helped us
find and choose everything we needed.
In addition to the table, he advised us on
chairs, a sofa, lamps and other furniture.
Lush has a huge range and provides a fast
delivery service.
The dining table is one of the fewplaces
where families still gather together. And,
believe it or not, it’s around the table where
bigdecisionsareoftenmade.So,spending
time choosing a table you love goes
towards creating special family moments.
