Knut Hesterberg is a world-famous German sculptor who began his career at the graphic arts and design studio in Zurich, Switzerland. Here he came into contact with the architect and artist Max Bill, who had a great influence on Hesterberg's future work. Hesterberg's sculptures have been exhibited throughout Europe. Many of his large-scale sculptures are on permanent display in public buildings throughout Germany and some in Italy. In the late 1960s, he designed sculptural table forms, particularly for Ronald Schmitt Eberbach and to a very limited extent for Bacher Tische in Renningen near Stuttgart, in order to bring art into the realm of people's everyday lives.

Info. The elegant greenish tint of glass is a property of the quartz sand from which glass is made. The higher the proportion of iron oxide in the quartz sand or the thicker the glass, the more this beautiful greenish tint appears.
