This collection, initially conceived for the firm e15, has established itself as a benchmark of contemporary design thanks to its balance between formal innovation, constructive precision and ergonomic functionality.
The HOUDINI design is characterized by a distinctive visual language, based on the reinterpretation of traditional joinery techniques through contemporary industrial processes. Its light and sturdy structure, made of molded wood veneer, stands out for the continuous curvature of the backrest and armrests, as well as for a wide seat that provides a comfortable and long-lasting user experience.

After collaborating with renowned designers such as Richard Sapper and Konstantin Grcic, he founded his own studio, Diez Office, in Munich in 2003. His work focuses on sustainability, the exploration of new materials and the creation of efficient production systems. Diez has won numerous international awards and his designs are part of the permanent collections of several design museums.
