Think office, think Eiermann – at least it might feel that way if you take a look around the workspaces of some of the world’s most pioneering creative offices.

Whether found in the fashionable context of media company Vice and its typical Berlin start-up look, at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel, or in the iconic architectural office of Sir Norman Foster in San Francisco, Richard Lampert's Eiermann 1 table enjoys a legendary status.

This iconic piece of furniture is at home wherever aesthetics and functionality play a combined role. Accordingly, the Eiermann can be found in numerous offices where creative minds work – and not just famous companies such as Herzog & de Meuron, Olgiati or Zumthor.


'Deliberate reduction, omission, simplification has a deep ethical basis: nothing which is simple can ever be objectionable.' – Egon Eiermann

This design classic, created in 1953 by the eponymous architect Egon Eiermann and reissued exclusively by Richard Lampert in a new collapsible version, is characterised by its reduced design. It is simple, beautiful, timeless and yet practical – the ideal combination of material use and stability.

Eiermann with a difference – instead of a desk, the plain black version of the Eiermann frame is used by the municipal utilities in Munich as a dining table (above) and in a high table version (below) for breaks. Photo: Oliver Heissner

Over the years, variations on the original Eiermann table have been developed, ranging from a children's desk to a standing workstation. The frame is optionally available with a central or off-centre cross member, and in either collapsible or welded versions. And a wide range of colours and materials is available to suit every interior.
