In Bloom: My Unapologetic Crush on Tulip Tables

"The Platonic absolute of a table. All you really see is what's on top and around it." —Tom Scheerer

Ah, the lovely tulip table. I have a soft spot for this iconic piece. It’s one of those unique pieces that feel equally at home in traditional and modern spaces. The furniture equivalent of a perfect pair of white jeans—it has an understated cool that works right into myriad design styles and settings. Sculptural and elegant, it holds its own but lets the rest of the room do the talking.

In the spirit of the unobtrusive tulip table, I'll let these images speak for themselves.
