What could be more obvious with a flexible table frame system than to use it for a children's desk that grows with the child? The E2 children's desk frame can be adjusted in height using the height adjusters, starting at a height of 550 mm (including the 22 mm tabletop) for 6-year-old children up to a height of 750 mm (normal desk height) and can therefore be used as a desk from the first grade up to school graduation.
The adjustable frame heights correspond to the table heights suggested by EN (European draft standard) 1729/E 1995. The table frame has cross struts offset from the center so that even a long-legged 15-year-old still has legroom when doing homework.
We have developed a secure solution for locking the height adjusters: instead of the metal pins that are usually used in the E2 table frames, which are only inserted through the height adjustment hole, the children's desk has an easy-to-fit screw with a sleeve that cannot slip out.
The height adjusters are fitted with large suction cups to ensure that the table top does not slip on the frame. These have the advantage over a solution with a screwed top that the underside of the table top remains intact and can be turned upwards if necessary if the top is no longer presentable.
We offer the melamine table top with beech edging in the dimensions 22 x 680 x 1200 mm as a matching table top for the Kinder E2. Colored table tops cut to size can be found under linoleum table top.
In 1953, Egon Eiermann designed a metal table frame for work in drawing rooms and architectural offices, which was manufactured by the Max Meier company and also in the metal workshop at the Technical University of Karlsruhe. It consists of two side parts that are welded together by a spatially tilted cross to form a rigid table frame. A simple wooden board is placed on the frame and serves as a drawing surface.
In1965, Klaus Brunner, one of Egon Eiermann's assistants, suggested a transportable version of the table frame when he moved to Freiburg. Adam Wieland, head of the metal workshop at the Technical University of Karlsruhe since 1963, further developed Egon Eiermann's table frame by tilting the diagonally arranged cross struts vertically and connecting them to the side sections in a detachable manner. The E2 is born. A few days later, Egon Eiermann inspected the design and was impressed. In the same year, Adam Wieland begins production of the table frame, which establishes itself as the standard table for architects and designers over the next 45 years.
1995 While Egon Eiermann's welded table frame disappears from the market in the 1980s, the popularity of Adam Wieland's E2 continues to grow. For many of its aficionados, the E2 becomes the so-called "Eiermann table". In the same year, a furniture dealer acquires the rights to the term Egon Eiermann and his products. He modified the original frame from 1953 and, at the end of the 1990s, also launched it on the market as a demountable version with a metric tube diameter and various accessories already developed by Adam Wieland, such as a height adjuster and cable duct. As the dismountable table frame from Adam Wieland is an independent further development of the original, the production and distribution rights remain with Adam Wieland even after the "Eiermann" name is sold in 1995.
In2009, the product name E2 was finally developed and registered as a trademark with the German Patent Office.
