The Classicon Bell Side Table, designed by Sebastian Herkner, represents a masterful inversion of conventional material use in contemporary furniture design. This specific iteration pairs a striking violet glass base with a sleek black top, creating a captivating dialogue between fragility and solidity.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the table features a hand-blown glass base that supports a spun metal top frame finished in a warm gold tone. The circular tabletop is rendered in opaque black glass, offering a reflective surface that contrasts beautifully with the translucent purple foundation. The manufacturing process ensures that each piece possesses unique characteristics, celebrating the artisanal craftsmanship inherent in its production. The silhouette is both sculptural and functional, anchoring the piece firmly within the modern design canon.
The side table remains in highly presentable condition, retaining its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The materials display a gentle patina consistent with careful use, adding authentic character to the metallic and glass surfaces without compromising the overall visual impact. The original finishes remain vibrant and true to the designer's vision.
This table was bought in 2016 as part of an office refurbishment. The piece stood on the side of meeting room as a display piece for it's lifetime to date seeing very limited use due to location.
