e15 Backen­zahn Stool

The e15 Backen­zahn stool, designed by Philipp Mainzer and named after the German word for ​“molar,” is a cele­brated design icon that merges func­tional furni­ture with sculp­tural art. Its bold, versa­tile design allows it to func­tion as a stool, side table, or occa­sional table, making it an adapt­able center­piece for any interior.

Featur­ing four post-like legs, the Backenzahn’s distinc­tive form is both strik­ing and elegant. Narrow gaps between the legs create a capti­vat­ing cruci­form shape when viewed from above, while the leg bases are sculpted to resem­ble the roots of a tooth. The stool’s slightly concave top offers ergonomic seating comfort, with an optional flat-top vari­a­tion avail­able for use as a table.

Crafted from north­ern Euro­pean oiled oak or walnut, each Backen­zahn stool is unique, show­cas­ing the natural grain, stri­a­tions, and organic splits of the wood. Combin­ing artistry, prac­ti­cal­ity, and time­less appeal, the Backen­zahn stool is a true design masterpiece.
