Backenzahn ST04 Black Oak from e15

Considered a design classic, the ST04 Backenzahn (german for molar) has become an identifying icon for e15 and part of several permanent exhibitions in museums. The four identical legs made of solid wood give character to the side table. The legs taper downward with two deliberate incisions. The gaps between the legs suggest that all four parts are still clearly recognizable.

e15 celebrates 25 years of BACKENZAHN™ with a new edition of the iconic side table designed by founder Philipp Mainzer. Introduced as part of the e15 SELECTED collection, a matte-black finish highlights the alchemic process that produces a natural tanic acid reaction in the oak wood, when triggered with a special mixture of natural ingridients. Due to the structural properties of oak wood and its individual degree of inherent acid, the colouring of each BACKENZAHN™ is unique and can vary.
