More details here…

The Vier Table by Philipp Mainzer for e15 is composed of five fused, 10-millime­ter glass panels, and serves as a crisp, contem­po­rary coun­ter­point to the brand’s heritage of timber, trading the warmth of oak for the preci­sion of light-permeable surfaces.

Its pres­ence is defined entirely by the inter­play of light and medium. The tinted glass — avail­able in smoke gray or dark blue — captures and refracts ambient illu­mi­na­tion, produc­ing a shift­ing visual depth that alters with the room’s own rhythm. With a cruci­form core support­ing two hori­zon­tal planes, the table func­tions with modular utility, adapt­able as a bedside surface or a plinth for books. It is a quiet, delib­er­ate object that merges archi­tec­tural geom­e­try with the ephemeral, casting layered shadows that ground the piece while keeping the overall impres­sion remarkably airy.
