Philipp Mainzer has designed for the E15 brand a series of small tables made of coloured glass: Drei and Vier. Composed of four glass panels, the Drei version can be used in any position, in a nod to the refined shapes of the Bauhaus and the Ulm stool. Designed after the Drei, the Vier table is made from five pieces of glass and can be used for storage thanks to its symmetrical base cut into four parts.
Born in Germany, Philipp Mainzer studied design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and architecture at the Architectural Association in London.In 1995, Philipp Mainzer created the modern furniture brand E15 with Farah Ebrahimi. With a progressive, sustainable philosophy and a unique brand image for E15, he has received international awards for many of his creations, which are now part of several permanent museum exhibitions.Alongside the creation of E15, Philipp Mainzer practised architecture in New York and has continued to do so since returning to Germany in 2001. Philipp Mainzer works internationally on commercial, residential and cultural projects offering full architectural, interior and exhibition design as well as furniture design services for the public and private sectors.Committed to a coherent and progressive conceptual approach, the work draws on the dynamic interplay of diverse cultures and disciplines. With a focus on high quality and authenticity, the diverse team of architects and designers develops original concepts with refined aesthetics and the required functionality. The partnership with the modern furniture brand e15 creates synergies that push back the boundaries of traditional architecture.
