Pulpo 2021: IMI
Sebastian Herkner pays homage to the painter and sculptor Imi Knoebel with the handmade ceramic "imi" side tables for pulpo.
One table, two bases.
Sebastian Herkner wanted to create glass in a new way, something solid and unique. He is fascinated by cast glass, compared with mouth blown glass elements, which have a specific wall thickness, Alwa tables have a tabletop made of 50 mm cast glass. The liquid glass is left in a special metal mold to solidify for several days. The air bubbles in the glass give each tabletop a unique character. The appearance mimics the aesthetic of water. Alwa is a side table made of cast glass, balanced on a metal frame.
