Houdini Side Chair

The Houdini Side Chair from e15, designed by Stefan Diez, show­cases a refined yet inno­v­a­tive construc­tion, avail­able in oak veneer and a range of strik­ing stained lacquer colors, includ­ing Cream, Toffee, Mint, Beige Red, Pure Orange, Sulfur Yellow, Amazona Green, Silk Grey, Traffic Grey, Jet Black, and Neon Red.

Its distinc­tive seat, designed with a subtle back­ward cant, enhances ergonomic comfort. The Houdini family’s unique silhou­ette is shaped by a special­ized produc­tion tech­nique orig­i­nally used in model airplane construc­tion. This labor-inten­sive process involves hand-stretch­ing preci­sion-cut, 4mm-thick oak-veneered plywood bands around a milled solid ring core, with each compo­nent metic­u­lously attached using glue — completely free of nails or screws. This approach results in a seam­less, sculp­tural form that brings an unprece­dented light­ness and fluid­ity to wooden chair design.

For addi­tional comfort, the Houdini Side Chair is avail­able with an optional seat cushion, making it an elegant yet func­tional seating solu­tion for various interiors.
