e15

🇩🇪 DE · $1,000-$10,000

e15 represents radical simplicity and the pioneering use of solid wood in its purest form. Founded in 1995 in London's east end, the brand embraces mono-materialism and sustainable production, creating furniture where essential forms highlight natural characteristics. Their approach consciously celebrates material authenticity - cracks, knotholes, grains, and annual rings - turning what was once considered waste into design features.

Artek - Stool 60

Artek

🇫🇮 FI · $400-$5,000

Artek embodies the Nordic interpretation of modernism, synthesizing art and technology to create furniture designed for longevity - physical, functional, and aesthetic. Founded on the belief that if a Finnish birch tree takes 50-80 years to grow, the furniture made from it should last at least as long. Their approach emphasizes clarity, functionality, and poetic simplicity, with organic curves that humanize modernist ideals.
