Knut Hesterberg is a world-renowned German sculptor who began his career at the graphic arts and design studio in Zurich, Switzerland. There he met the architect and artist Max Bill, who had a significant influence on Hesterberg's future work. Hesterberg's sculptures have been exhibited throughout Europe. Many of his large sculptures are on permanent display in public buildings throughout Germany, and some are also 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, aiming to bring art into people's everyday lives.
