Good Questions: Saarinen-esque Table and Chairs Source?

Where is the small, round, Saarinen-esque dining table and chairs from in Anne & Todd's "Gropius Meets Victorian" Condo? I've been looking and looking for the perfect table for my small apartment and this just might be it. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Charlotte

IKEA has a loose interpretation of the Saarinen table. Also, Aaron wrote about Target's version here. Anyone else have a tip on Saarinen look alikes?

cb2 odyssey. AT commenters said it was stronger than the IKEA one, I think, but check yourself--anyone have one?

CB2 for the table alone - Craigslist for Vintage Saarinen and Burke tables and chairs (as shown in the photo - That's not a Saarinen set)

the odyssey table from cb2 is about $199, plus shipping.

I cant' speak for the table, but if you can wait until after the holidays cb2 is moving into the c b furniture store in Cambridge so you could check it out in person.

You would probably need to troll away on ebay for a Saarinen-esque table manufactured typically by Burke - either the full table or base only.

But if I see the name Charlotte bidding against me in the last 60 seconds of bidding . . . .

if you want a real saarinen, I recommend www.circa50.com. they are one of a handful of licensed knoll dealers. their prices are slightly better than the others. and they're nice and they deliver for free.

In addition, Knoll always has a major annual sale in early May - I believe they give 40% off new orders to retail clients.
