In the 1920s Eileen Gray experimented with various versions of the design of the Adjustable Table E 1027. As she changed the look of the table with a black metal top as an alternative to the crystal glass top, she also selected black as the colour for the frame. The matte black lacquer clearly emphasises the lines of the table and its form – a version she considered especially elegant. Together with Zeev Aram, Eileen Gray developed her Adjustable Table E 1027 for production in the 1970s; they both decided to produce the chrome-plated version first, with the intention to introduce the table frame in black at a later date

In the 1920's and 30's, Irish artist Eileen Gray was one of the pioneers who created what we now call modern design. The lone woman amongst her peers, her name is spoken in the same breath as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer. Her tubular steel furniture was revolutionary in its day, and is now accepted as classic. In the second stage of her creative career, Eileen Gray switched to architecture and continued producing masterpieces. Her career culminated in 1972 with her appointment by the Royal Society of Art in London, as Royal Designer to Industry. Her legendary Adjustable Table E 1027 was added to the MoMA’s permanent collection in 1978.

Germany's industrial design and product design has always been a world leader, while CLASSICON is the leader in German furniture design. Its design is different from the short-lived fashion trend, and it is brave to pursue the ultimate originality, with both functionalism and timeless beauty. . ClassiCon believes that the most important thing is not the style but the quality. It refuses to put the function in the design after the beauty, while opposing the over-decoration, and always adopts an inclusive attitude towards the new design concept.
ClassiCon recognizes the power of design as a global language and is therefore happy to work with great designers from around the world to create a diverse, international product. Such as female architect Eileen Gray, industrial designer Norman Cherner, German architect Eckart Muthesius and so on.
ClassiCon is fully trusted by young designers. The Bell side table was designed by the new designer Sebastian Herkner for ClassiCon, which has become the brand's most iconic representative. Sebastian Herkner is a very talented young designer. Since 2008, he has appeared in the eyes of international audiences with his enthusiastic awards.
From the German Heimtextil “Newcomer Innovation Award” to the “Best Communication Concept Award” in Cologne 2009, from the German Red Dot Award in 2010 to the 2011 Delta Industrial Design Award “Delta Award”, he was included.
Sebastian Herkner's favorite design style is not the usual concept, "German design" gives people a very precise and rational cold and straight line.
When designing the Bell series side table, he decided to challenge the tradition of making table legs with the lightweight, fragile material of hand-made glass and making the table top with metal. However, the technicians who can blow out the exquisite hand-made glass have become less and less in Western Europe. He finally found the right craft in Eastern Europe, so that this wonderful series can be presented to the world.
Bell's success has also made the ClassiCon brand famous. This eye-catching brand has always created a number of stunning modern furniture with the values of “classic modern design”.
