ClassiCon BELL COFFEE TABLE STRAW Round glass coffee table with straw marquetry

With its spectacular mouth-blown glass base, the Bell Table by Sebastian Herkner represents premium craftsmanship.‎ ClassiCon raises quality craftsmanship to a new level and now presents both the Bell Side Table and the Bell Coffee Table in a version with straw marquetry worked into the tabletop.‎ Like rays of sunshine, the individual strips of straw, applied with utmost precision to a carrier plate, radiate out from the centre across the surface.‎ The different shades of straw create an impressive three-dimensional pattern, the depth effect of which is enhanced by a sophisticated processing method.‎ The natural material contrasts in an exciting manner with the colour and reflections of the table’s glass base, creating a dynamic interplay of materials.‎ The traditional craft of straw marquetry is used in the production of the new tabletop version for the Bell Table: high-quality straws are dyed, split open and rolled flat and then manually glued, strip by strip, onto a thin carrier plate.‎ In order to protect the delicate straw pattern of the tabletop, it is encased in glass, using a complex process for airtight conservation.‎ This process also enhances the straw's natural sheen and thus the visual depth of the pattern.‎ The result is an exciting 3D effect that captures the eye and constantly reveals new facets.‎ The new tabletop is available with straw marquetry in gold, as well as in anthracite and mocha.‎ Due to their striking aesthetics, the new versions of the Bell Coffee Table and the Bell Side Table are perfect eyecatchers in any room.‎ The Bell Table by Sebastian Herkner turns our perceptual habits on their head, using the lightweight, fragile material of glass as a base for a metal top that seems to float above it.‎ Hand-blown in the traditional manner using a wooden mould, the transparent tinted glass base asserts a sculptural presence in space, intriguingly contrasting with the solid brass frame on top while also forming a harmonious unit with it, recalling the elegant curved silhouette of a bell.‎ With its appealing reflective surfaces and contrasting materials, the side table adds a distinctive touch to living environments.‎ It celebrates the beauty of the materials with their colours and surfaces, along with the workmanship.‎ The Bell Table is a masterwork of traditional craftsmanship.‎ Each table is handmade and has characteristic features such as irregularities in glass thickness, small bubbles or bumps in the glass.‎ Further info from manufacturer on BELL COFFEE TABLE STRAW ClassiCon
