The e15 Stuttgart Armchair, orig­i­nally designed in 1926 by acclaimed archi­tect Richard Herre, is a master­ful expres­sion of geomet­ric and ratio­nal design. Crafted from solid wood, it features a grace­fully curved back­rest, show­cas­ing impec­ca­ble tradi­tional crafts­man­ship and timeless sophistication.

Avail­able in jet black stained, waxed Euro­pean oak, or rich walnut finishes, the Stuttgart armchair can be customized to suit any inte­rior aesthetic. It also offers a remov­able seat, with uphol­stery choices ranging from textiles and leather or cane with an elegant Vienna weave, allow­ing for person­al­iza­tion in comfort and style.

With its strik­ing moder­nity and command­ing pres­ence, the Stuttgart armchair is a versa­tile piece, perfect for dining settings, exec­u­tive offices, or visitor seating, effort­lessly blend­ing func­tion­al­ity with refined elegance.

Richard Herre

Germany

Richard Herre, a Stuttgart-based architect, interior designer, and graphic artist, was a key figure in the New Objectivity movement of the 1920s. Though his contributions were long overlooked, his influence in modernist design has recently been rediscovered.

Herre's work extended beyond architecture to encompass furniture, lighting, textiles, and graphic design. He is particularly known for his iconic motif for the 1924 Werkbund exhibition Die Form, as well as his strikingly modern interiors, which balanced structured design with unexpected color.

With the reissue of his designs, including the Stuttgart chair and the Zet kilim, Herre’s vision can once again be appreciated. His work represents a vital yet nearly forgotten chapter of modernism—one that seamlessly blends precision, functionality, and artistic expression.
