What dining table goes with Eames Shell Chairs?

10 years ago

We have six gorgeous fiberglass charcoal Eames Shell Chairs (exactly as in the picture), plus two orange ones with arms. We'd like a table for eight that can match the chairs' walnut legs, and which has a hardwood (kid-resistant) top. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Great chairs! You could go with a table with straight lines to keep the mid-century modern look or you could mix them with a table that has more traditional or rustic lines to make it more unexpected.

Too hard to give you an answer unless you can show us the room the table and chairs will go into.

AWESOME chairs!!! I agree with the Saarinen for sure! If that is out of your budget, you could get a round solid surface tabletop with a simple pedestal base for a similar look. Add a fabulous modern light fixture and some orange and lime green accessories … gorgeous!

I vote for rustic.

Since you have 6 black chairs and two orange, I think that lends itself better to a rectangular table so the two orange can be at the ends. I like something rustic/ industrial with metal legs, but a little larger than the photo.

Love the ones Lydia posted, especially the top left and the bottom one. But if you decide to go with a tulip table, we have them on our site.

I just found a cheaper reproduction that seems good: http://www.roveconcepts.com/eero-saarinen_saarinen-tulip-table-carrara-marble-various-sizes.html

Definitely the tulip table. If you're still looking for a table, check out our collection of tulip tables here: http://emfurn.com/collections/dining-table/eero-saarinen

I have the same dilemma. My eames chairs are black fiberglass but have black metal legs. What table to put with it? Solid wood or wood top with metal legs or solid white tulip?
