David Chipperfield extends furniture range for e15 with minimal table and sideboard

Architect David Chipperfield has continued his foray into furniture design with a wooden coffee table and sideboard for German brand e15.

The pieces join a collection already launched by Chipperfield at Milan design week 2015, which included a table, bench and stool made from solid wooden planks.

The architect's Leighton coffee table follows a similar approach and is made from solid panels of wood. Its top rests on two slanted legs, joined by a central crossbar, and is available in walnut or oak.

The Drayton sideboard echoes the form of the table, also resting on a pair of angled legs made from solid planks. The piece comes in four different lengths.

Chipperfield's designs are part of a range of new pieces launched by e15, which includes a collection of stoneware based on traditional pottery from the Frankfurt region and a table with square legs designed by the brand's co-founder Philipp Mainzer.

In addition to his collaboration with e15, Chipperfield's furniture designs include a series of bronze and steel cabinets that referenced the forms of Ancient Greek architecture, which were displayed at London's David Gill Gallery earlier this year.
