Evoking oriental tea services, Habibi is a series of small coffee tables and side tables, created by Philipp Mainzer for E15. These tables are reduced to their simplest forms: the top rests gently on a light structure and can also be used independently.Both functional and elegant, Habibi is available in three sizes and three finishes: stainless steel, copper and brass. Produced by hand, each piece is unique and oxidises over time, producing a beautiful patina unless treated. The versatile Habibi collection offers several possibilities for use in the living room, bedroom or entrance hall, alone or in compositions of several elements.
