Bell Side Table (Copper Edition)
Made by Classicon
Designed by Sebastian Herkner
Sebastian Herkner designed the Bell Side Table as a study in deliberate contradiction. The base, formed from tinted quartz grey glass and mouth-blown using a traditional wooden mold, carries the curved silhouette that gives the piece its name. Above it, a solid copper pedestal supports a black lacquered crystal glass top that appears to float, held in place by contrast rather than convention.
The Copper Edition brings a particular material dialogue to the composition. Copper, dense and warm in tone, is borne by glass, which is fragile and light. The expected hierarchy of materials is quietly reversed. The result is a table that reads differently depending on the light and angle, shifting between sculpture and furniture without settling on either.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes each Bell Side Table unique?
Because the glass base is mouth-blown using a wooden mold, each table carries its own natural variations, small bubbles, slight surface irregularities, or subtle shifts in the glass. These are not flaws but inherent characteristics of the hand process, making every piece one of a kind.
Who designed the Bell Side Table?
The Bell Side Table was designed by Sebastian Herkner, a German designer based in Offenbach. Herkner trained as a goldsmith before completing his design studies in Frankfurt and Berlin, and his work frequently explores the meeting point between traditional craft techniques and contemporary form.
How is the glass base of the Bell Side Table made?
The base is mouth-blown using a traditional wooden mold, a technique that requires considerable skill and produces a gentle, bell-like curvature. The tinted quartz grey glass is formed by hand, and the process is the same one used by artisan glassblowers for generations.
Is the Bell Side Table made to order?
Yes, the Bell Side Table is produced to order by Classicon in Germany. Lead times reflect the handmade nature of the piece, and buyers should account for production and shipping time when planning for a project or installation.
How does the Copper Edition differ from other Bell Side Table versions?
The Copper Edition specifies a solid copper pedestal in place of other metal finishes offered in the Bell collection. Copper's warm, reddish tone creates a particular contrast with the grey glass base and the black lacquered top, and it will develop a natural patina over time if left untreated.
