Designed by Arik Levy for E15, Arie is a small bookcase made of oak or white powder-coated MDF to suit your interior. Arie can be used singly as a small storage unit or in a combination of several bookcases, placed next to each other, which will give the impression of a single long storage unit. With invisible structural elements, the unit is visually appealing and decorative and can be used as a space divider in a living room or office.

E15
Founded in 1995 by architect Philipp Mainzer, German company E15 is characterised by an avant-garde style combined with high-quality materials and artisanal production methods. E15 sells products with a playful lightness made from natural materials.
E15’s products are original and true to the brand’s identity, with its open-minded approach open to different cultures and disciplines. E15 only uses high-quality wood in production, such as oiled oak. The defining shapes of the Bigfoot table and the Backenzahn stool carved E15's reputation for using solid wood in its purest form. E15 works with select workshops in Europe and collaborates with renowned designers such as Stefan Diez.
