e15 lighting
With diverse lighting requirements in mind, a range of floor, table, pendant and wall lights in pure materials and colours elegantly define a comprehensive collection featuring e15 lighting. Five lighting families designed by internationally renowned designers Daniel Rybakken and Andreas Engesvik, Mark Holmes, Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau as well as Michael Raasch reflect e15’s brand ethos of high grade materials paired with extraordinary craftsmanship.
Emitting beautiful atmospheric light NORTH is an expressive floor, table, pendant and wall light with distinct underlying simplicity, designed by Hamburg-based design duo Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau.
Minimalism, theatricality and architecture illustrate the essence of COLOUR by Norwegian designers Daniel Rybakken and Andreas Engesvik. In its refined simplicity free of conventional aesthetics, the light COLOUR expands the field of sculpture and light.
With sculptural structure and accurate folds the SEAM light series by Mark Holmes follows the principle of reduced components and focuses on the element of light itself. SEAM is made of firmly bonded, folded sheet aluminium, available as a floor, table and wall light.
By German designer Michael Raasch, the light PALO elegantly offers smart solutions for floor, table or bed side reading. The slim light diffuser in cylindrical form simply slides onto the linear stand. The visible cord lends a casual and dynamic edge to the precise form of PALO while accommodating individual positioning for down lighting at desired points. An optional marble foot adds a luxurious touch.
Simplicity is the allure and strength of the SPAN pendant light, also designed by Michael Raasch. Balanced from two suspension points, the unique X-shaped extruded aluminium section is made exclusively for e15 and incorporates a diffuser. SPAN radiates plentiful light suitable for dining or working environments.
New releases for e15 by Jörg Schellmann
E15 introduces three distinct products, PLATZ, SITZ and PROFIL by German designer Jörg Schellmann. Solid wood table PLATZ and bench SITZ complement e15’s range of working and dining solutions. A diagonal bar dominates the form and character of PLATZ and SITZ whilst guaranteeing high stability and formal distinctness.
With PROFIL e15 presents a shelf with sculptural appeal that offers elegant storage and display possibilities, evoking associations with minimal art. Open for individual colour and composition, the aluminium shelf PROFIL is produced in one piece by way of extrusion; a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile, forming finished parts with excellent surface finish.
e15 accessory collection
With the introduction of the e15 accessory collection designed by architect Philipp Mainzer and designers Mark Braun and Jan Philip Holler, e15 showcases elegant, everyday products with character made with premium materials for living, dining and working. In their refined simplicity, a series of cutting boards, trays and bowls made of hand finished solid wood and marble conveys e15’s distinct design aesthetic. Book ends from fine Italian marble, tray dividers and architectural paper weight houses from solid brass, European walnut and oak luxuriously structure the perfect clean desk or serve as intriguing objects in open use context.
Blankets in vibrant colours, hand spun in wool, or linen enrich the collection. For accessory cushions, in addition to e15’s signature Scottish Tartans and comprehensive palette selected by art director Farah Ebrahimi, BRASILIA a new fabric exclusively made for e15 features a modernist mix of colours woven into classic tweed, highlighting the brand’s progressive point of view grounded in established traditions.
Exhibition design by PHILIPP MAINZER
At Salone del Mobile 2014, e15 showcases an exhibition design by PHILIPP MAINZER OFFICE FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. The brand’s debut of the lighting collection along with its furniture and accessories collections are structured into individual settings. Pale grey walls and a partial roof impart an expressive, modernist nature to the stand. Unfolding from the centre, the exhibition showcases products in interlocking rooms and intriguing architectural viewpoints, at once accentuating the modern aesthetic of the brand set against the pale grey walls and raw concrete floor. Informative graphics in white lend an open and informal character to the presentation.
