or Call to Order

e15 cele­brates 25 years of Backen­zahn with a new edition of the iconic side table designed by founder Philipp Mainzer. Intro­duced as part of the e15 selected collec­tion, a matte-black finish high­lights the alchem­i­cal process that produces a natural tannic acid reac­tion in the oak wood, when trig­gered with a special mixture of natural ingre­di­ents. Due to the struc­tural prop­er­ties of oak wood and its indi­vid­ual degree of inher­ent acid, the color­ing of each Backen­zahn is unique and can vary.
