Product catalog summary
Introduction
2015 marks the 20th anniversary of e15, a company renowned for its progressive furniture, lighting, and accessories. The celebration also highlights the anniversary of their first product, the iconic BIGFOOT™ table, which has become a design classic.

Founding Principles
e15 was founded in 1995 in East London, with a focus on creating modern, honest, and sustainable products from high-quality materials. The company is defined by the unique backgrounds of its founder Philipp Mainzer and art director Farah Ebrahimi.

BIGFOOT™ Table
The BIGFOOT™ table, designed in 1994 by Philipp Mainzer, is celebrated for its radical simplicity and use of solid European oak. For its 20th anniversary, a limited edition with laser-etched artwork by Geoff McFetridge was released, featuring 94 tables, each with a stainless steel plaque and a numbered print.

BIGFOOT™ DICE
Geoff McFetridge also created a limited edition BIGFOOT™ DICE, using the signature solid oak legs of the BIGFOOT™ table. This edition consists of 200 pieces, each featuring playful scenes of the mythical creature Bigfoot.

Historical Milestones
Key milestones include the debut of the first e15 tables in 1994, the founding of e15 Ltd. in 1995, and various collaborations and exhibitions over the years. Notable events include the introduction of the BACKENZAHN™ stool in 1996, the opening of a progressive concept store in 2000, and the launch of the SHIRAZ collection in 2007.

Recent Developments
In recent years, e15 has expanded its headquarters in Frankfurt, introduced new showrooms in Milan, and continued to innovate with new product lines and collaborations. The company remains committed to its founding principles while embracing modern design and craftsmanship.
