About e15
e15 is an interior and furniture brand founded in 1995 and headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, named after the postal code of its first workshop in London. The company develops and produces a furniture collection made of high-quality solid wood species – primarily oak of sustainable, predominantly German origin – as well as materials such as marble, metal, glass, leather and textiles. Production takes place in small-batch manufacturing together with a network of regional craft businesses and suppliers, mainly in Germany; surfaces remain largely natural, and the wood is mostly oiled. In addition to its own designs and collaborations with designers, architects and artists, e15 also reissues designs of the Modernist era, including works by Ferdinand Kramer and Richard Herre. The company serves the residential and contract market (residential, workplace, hospitality, public buildings) through a worldwide dealer network with more than 600 partners on 5 continents. In addition, e15 offers planning services and the coordination of custom-made carpentry work through its architecture office.
