I love Chinoiserie, as you all know, and I am also a huge fan of the iconic Saarinen tulip table. Can the two beautifully coexist? Check out this stunning example above by Scott Ingram via Brilliant Asylum, and the rest below. I wonder if the Chinoiserie lamp on the table above is homage to the great William Haines? For more examples of the versatility of this table, read my post here that I did for a series on the now defunct blog We Love Domino. The answer is clearly yes.

The Saarinen Tulip Table and Chinoiserie make a lovely pair for sure!! Thanks for the lovely examples.
beautiful images...
Thought of you when I posted a photo of an 18th century Chinoiserie papered dining room last night...come see! Love your daughter's dining room...great chairs, too. Trish
The small tulip table is so cute! I didn't know they made it in that size.
They all work just great in these rooms!! The tulip table has such beautiful lines!

Belle-Ikea makes a great copy-that's it in my daughter's apartment.
La Dolfina-Quite a perfect pairing.
Laura-Some great ideas.

Sigh...I would take a beautiful Saarinen over a beautiful man any day. At least I know the Saarinen would still be beautiful in 30 years.
Beautiful images, love the little side table and didn't know it was made in that version. I posted yesterday a home in MN where the woman used a knock-off from Ikea in her breakfast room. Nothing Chinoiserie about the room though....
oh those are FANTASTIC!!! I want one so badly now!
CC-I love that size!
Karena-Such a classic.

Abby-The Saarinen has many avantages over a man.
Susie-The Saarinen table really does work in any setting.

I just scored a fabulous marble top Saarinen table for a steal and cannot wait to get it into place in my kitchen. Trying to decide what fabric to recover my kitchen chairs in and I'm LOVING the use of the Imperial Trellis. Happy Friday!
