Pulpo Alwa Two Side Table & Coffee Table
ALWA TWO SIDE TABLE & COFFEE TABLE
ALWA TWO SIDE TABLE & COFFEE TABLE
Designed by Sebastian Herkner
Solid yet soft in appearance, Alwa Two retains the unique character of the original glass top—complete with natural bubbles and an uneven, tactile surface.
Its difference lies in the base: a sleek, cross-shaped metal construction that adds visual lightness and structural contrast.
A sculptural piece that balances transparency and strength with ease.
DESIGNER
SEBASTIAN HERKNER
Poetic compositions, refined shapes and delicate surfaces mark his designs: Sebastian Herkner who founded his Offenbach am Main based studio in 2006, creates furniture, lighting and textiles, as well as spaces and installations – often combining contemporary techniques with traditional craftsmanship.
Without leaving out the importance of material and sensory beauty, the multifaceted designer follows a strong conceptional approach: “I transport and interpret characteristics from various contexts of society and culture, and implement them in new artefacts”, says Sebastian Herkner.
Repeatedly awarded, the design teaches at the university, collaborates with fairs as well as museums, and works for some of the most prestigious design manufacturers of our time.
Pulpo got to know the creative mind during various international design shows, as he was still a student. Today, the designer and the house of design are bound by a close and friendly relationship, allowing a dynamic exchange when playing creative ping-pong over ideas or figuring out the ideal design language for pulpo.

FEATURE - POWERFUL. COLOURFUL. SENSITIVE.
Normally, glass is regarded as being lightweight with sharp edges. In contrast, Sebastian Herkner’s alwa is massive and possesses gentle contours.
The raw, hot, glass mass with its natural bubbles is an imprint of the structure, including the uneven, sensitive surface. So nice to touch … but also ideal for placing a variety of items.
GLASS CLEANING
For dusting and light cleaning of glass use a soft, dry cloth. For further cleaning gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth wrung in clean water and a non-abrasive commercial glass cleaner. Dry immediately afterwards with a soft, dry and clean cloth. Please note that bubbles, streaks and other variations in size and colour are part of the production process, and not defects
