About the Item
A rare and sculptural "Snake" coffee table designed by celebrated German sculptor Knut Hesterberg for Ronald Schmitt in the 1960s. This piece exemplifies the fluid biomorphic aesthetic characteristic of Hesterberg’s most iconic works.
The polished aluminum base forms a continuous, looping structure — a seamless blend of art and function. The table is topped with a substantial square glass surface, providing a stunning juxtaposition of transparency and sculptural form. The minimalist glass top allows the organic curves of the base to remain the visual focus, offering a dynamic centerpiece from every angle.
This table is not just a piece of furniture — it's a functional sculpture, making it ideal for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs of mid-century modern design.
Condition Notes
Very Good vintage condition. The base shows minimal signs of wear consistent with age. Glass is in superb condition with only minor, expected surface wear.
