The CH04 Houdini Chair was designed by German designer Stefan Diez for e15 and is made from 4mm thin oak veneered plywood using an unusual production methodology. The outcome is a new silhouette of wooden furniture where the chairs' back and seat run in bent curves around the base forming a seat shell. Inspired by a technique used in aeroplane model making, two-dimensional plywood slabs are stretched by hand around a complexly milled solid wood ring to form the back and another to form part of the seat. No nails or screws are needed to hold the chairs together rather the 2D slabs are glued to the base to stay in position, producing the shape of the chairs.
Constructed from solid wood legs and oak veneer seat and back, the Houdini Chair is a durable and lightweight piece. Featuring a curved backrest and a generously proportioned seat, the Houdini Chair allows freedom of movement and maximum comfort while seated. Its elegant and timeless design makes it a suitable match for many indoor spaces. We suggest pairing the Houdini Chair with an e15 table to complete the look.
