Herkner Sebastian
An interplay of visual and material balances brings the Bell coffee table to life, where blown glass gracefully supports a solid metal surface. Designer Sebastian Herkner overturns conventional logic, choosing an apparently fragile material as the base for a marble and brass top, generating an effect of sophisticated lightness. The base, handcrafted using traditional artisanal techniques, takes on a sinuous and transparent shape reminiscent of a bell's profile. The circular top, enclosed by a golden band, completes the contrast between solidity and transparency, between classic and contemporary. Perfect as a sculptural element in refined living rooms or contract environments, Bell is much more than a coffee table: it is an object that tells the power of poetic design.
