Philipp Mainzer

German, b. 1969

Furniture designer and architect Philipp Mainzer is a creative force who draws on multiculturalism, warm design and art to inspire his trendsetting pieces. Establishing one of the most celebrated German design brands, e15, Mainzer creates furnishings for the modern era, with a traditional touch.

Born in Germany in 1969, Mainzer later studied in London, majoring in product design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and architecture at the Architectural Association. In 1995, while training to become an architect, Mainzer had what he calls “a gut feeling” to produce furniture to counter the cold, aluminum and glass materials popular at the time, but with a similar minimalist style. e15 was born, named after the postal code of its first workshop.

In addition to serving as the creative and managing director of e15, Mainzer travels extensively with his wife to Iran, where he finds inspiration for his designs. As demonstrated in his tables that are informed by Iranian tea culture, Mainzer manages to blend international culture with his German roots. Working in the tradition of German furniture makers, Mainzer follows form with function and emphasizes the quality of materials like solid wood and marble.

Mainzer practices architecture in New York through his firm, Philipp Mainzer Office for Architecture and Design. He is a member of the executive committee of the German Design Council and gives lectures on a host of topics, including architecture, design and branding.
