Story
A steel iteration
BACKENZAHN STEEL returns to Philipp Mainzer's 1996 BACKENZAHN side table through a different construction. Rather than transferring the original material specification, e15 describes this model as a new iteration crafted from folded stainless steel.
Silhouette carried forward
The manufacturer says the metal version maintains the distinctive silhouette and sculptural presence of the earlier design. Polished, brushed, brass-plated and powder-coated treatments place the folded form at the centre of this edition.
