Knut Hesterberg is a world-renowned 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 major 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 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 noble greenish tone of glass is a property of the quartz sand from which glass is made. The higher the iron oxide content in the quartz sand or the thicker the glass, the more this beautiful greenish tint appears.

Diameter: 110cm (120cm also possible on request); H: 47cm; Glass: 19mm thick
Condition:
Like new, completely restored, unique, surely the best available anywhere in the world! Signs of use? You search in vain. The glass top is also new. The table itself can no longer be purchased from Ronald Schmitt.
Note: A round, 19mm thick glass plate with a polished edge currently costs around 1000 to 1300 euros due to the massive increase in energy costs! Source: e.g. express-zuschnitt.de; be-glass.de etc.
