.EIERMANN E (TIM SCHÜTZE)

The classic with electric height adjustment

For over seven decades, the Eiermann table has been a symbol of clear design, functionality, and timeless modernity. With a new, height-adjustable version, a new chapter in the history of this classic is now beginning. Architect Egon Eiermann originally designed the table in 1953 for his own office. It quickly became a favorite in studios and architecture offices worldwide. Its characteristic construction—the tubular steel frame with slanted cross struts—made it a milestone of functionalist modernism: light, robust, uncompromisingly precise.

Almost three generations later, we at Richard Lampert are continuing this tradition. We have been manufacturing the Eiermann table under original license since the 1990s – and from 2025, we will be presenting its logical further development: the height-adjustable Eiermann M (mechanical) and Eiermann E (electric). We worked with designer Tim Schütze for three years to bring this to fruition. The idea was born during his master’s studies at the Berlin University of the Arts: a movable Eiermann table inspired by the technology of 3D printers.

In the Eiermann E, motors take over the movement – conveniently at the touch of a button.

For maximum stability, we have increased the tube thickness of the frame to 28 mm, and the frame is firmly soldered. This preserves the unmistakable silhouette while offering new freedoms for modern working.
