ClassiCon Classic Contemporary Design Bell Series, Sebastian Herkner

Product catalog summary

Overview of Bell Series by Sebastian Herkner
The Bell Table by Sebastian Herkner challenges traditional material usage by using a glass base to support a metal top, creating a floating effect. The glass base is hand-blown using traditional methods, providing a sculptural presence that contrasts with the solid brass or steel top. This design celebrates material beauty and craftsmanship, with each table being handmade and featuring unique characteristics like glass thickness variations and bubbles.

Specifications
The Bell Table is available in various colors, including amethyst violet, topaz yellow, emerald green, quartz grey, and Montana blue. The metal tops are made from solid brass or black burnished steel, with a special edition featuring an unlacquered copper top that develops a natural patina. The side table dimensions are H 53 cm / DM 50 cm, and the coffee table dimensions are H 36 cm / DM 75 cm.

Miniature and Lighting Options
The Bell Side Table is also available in a 1:5 scale miniature version. Additionally, the Bell Light series offers customizable pendant lamps with options for brass or copper sockets and shades made from copper-plated metal or fabric.

Manufacturing Process
The production involves traditional glassblowing techniques, requiring skill and precision. The process includes turning a wooden mold, shaping the glass, and pressing the metal top frame.

Designer Background
Sebastian Herkner, born in 1981, studied product design and founded his studio in 2006. He has received numerous awards, including the 2011 German Design Award. Herkner collaborates with international companies and curates design exhibitions.

Contract and Contact Information
The Bell Series is featured in various prestigious locations, including hotels and shops across Europe. For more information, ClassiCon's headquarters are located in Munich, Germany, with a showroom open Monday to Saturday.

Bell Table by Sebastian Herkner Der Bell Table von Sebastian Herkner stellt den gewohnten Umgang mit Materialien auf den Kopf und überrascht unsere Wahrnehmung: Hier wird der Tischfuß zur prägnanten, farbig-transparenten Glasform im Raum, auf dem ein Metallkörper aufliegt. Das Glas verhilft dem an sich schweren Metall zu schwebender Leichtigkeit. Der traditionell in eine Holzform geblasene Glasfuß und der gedrückte Metallkörper treten in einen spannenden Kontrast und bilden doch formal eine harmonische Einheit, die an den eleganten Schwung einer Glocke erinnert. Mit ihren reizvollen Reflexionen...
