Where did the design of the E2 table come from and who invented it? What is an egg man's table? And why are there different suppliers today? Here we answer all questions about the history of the E2 table. It's all about the development of the design, the producer of the table frames and the trademark rights to the term Eiermann. We'll also tell you how and when Modulor got involved with the E2 table.

The E2 table frame comes from the successor metal workshop of the university workshop from Egon Eiermann's times. There a design (E2) of the originally welded table frame by Egon Eiermann, further developed by the workshop manager at that time Adam Wieland under the eyes of Egon Eiermann, is finally produced. Nevertheless, it should not be called Eiermann's frame.

Why? The trademark rights to the term Eiermann were purchased in 1995 by a furniture manufacturer much further away from Egon Eiermann than Adam Wieland from Egon Eiermann's descendants: Richard Lampert. And now all legal possibilities are exhausted to restrict or prohibit the use of the name Eiermann in connection with table frames by competitors and their sales partners. We are also affected by this. In 2011, for example, we had to withdraw a not inconsiderable part of our last printed catalogue with 1,400 pages, which provided information about our entire product range, from circulation. We no longer have a printed catalogue, but our table frames are now described on the Internet. And so we continue to be confronted with warnings and processes on this subject, even though the table frame is now called "E2 table frame - known as Eiermann table". We think that the table frame has a direct relation to Egon Eiermann and do not want it to be dropped under the table (German idiom :) ). This remains a difficult and costly undertaking. The last trial at the Higher Regional Court (Kammergericht Berlin) ended in a defeat for Richard Lampert, but the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court against the decision not to admit an appeal was immediately lodged. To be continued ...

... but at least one thing is certain: Adam Wieland GmbH will continue to be based in Egon-Eiermann-Allee.

Addendum: On 28.11.2019, the Federal Supreme Court rejected Richard Lamperts appeal against the non-admission of an appeal. The judgment of the Higher Regional Court Berlin is therefore final. We may therefore - now confirmed by the highest court - continue to describe our E2 tables as "known as Eiermanntisch".
