The Oval Tulip Dining Table 160–180 cm – Liquid Laminate or Solid Oak Top (H. 74 cm) is a generously sized Italian-made reinterpretation of Eero Saarinen’s 1956 Tulip collection. With its elongated oval top and sculptural pedestal base, it is ideal for medium-sized dining rooms, open-plan living spaces and stylish contract environments where design and practicality must work together.
Handcrafted entirely in Italy by CTS Design, this model of the Art. 2002 oval Tulip table is available in five versatile sizes between 160 and 180 cm in length. You can choose between a sleek, colour-customisable liquid laminate top or a warm solid oak top to match either minimalist contemporary interiors or more tactile, natural schemes.
Customisable Top Options
The oval top is available in two main material families for this configuration:
-
Liquid Laminate (25 mm) – 25 mm MDF wooden top finished with semi-opaque liquid laminate. This varnish is characterised by a particular hardness due to the presence of glass microspheres, which increase scratch resistance and reduce liquid absorption. Available in white, black or any RAL/NCS custom colour, it is perfect for everyday dining and light commercial use.
-
Solid Oak Wood (24 mm) – 24 mm solid oak top with open-pore, water-based varnish that preserves the natural grain and texture while improving durability over time. Available in natural oak, light walnut, dark walnut, black, palisander, cherry and moka oak, allowing you to coordinate with existing timber elements in the space.
Sculptural Pedestal Base
This Oval Tulip table uses the signature round cast-aluminium pedestal base with an internal ballast, offering a seamless profile and excellent stability. Base finishes:
- Glossy or Matt White
- Glossy or Matt Black
- Matt Grey
- Any RAL/NCS custom colour on request

Why You’ll Love It
This Italian-made oval Tulip dining table brings together Saarinen’s iconic pedestal silhouette and two highly practical surface options. The central base frees up legroom and keeps the area around the table visually light, while the oval top softens the room’s lines and encourages conversation. With a choice between colour-customisable liquid laminate and warm, tactile solid oak, you can tailor the piece to both modern minimal interiors and more classic schemes.
