Description

This hinged three-wing mirror hangs on the wall like a decorative picture. When open, you can look at yourself completely from all sides. The practical suspension works by mounting a notched wooden part on the wall. The mirror can be hung very easily with the wooden part notched in the opposite direction on its rear side. The colourful wood used is not sealed with a clear varnish. Thus, the originality of the colours is authentically expressed.

One of the pieces offered here is an exhibition model. It is in best condition. Only the colour of the wooden frame has darkened somewhat due to exposure to daylight.

Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek (1967) graduated from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Holland in 1990. While still a student, he received considerable attention for his “Scrap Wood” cabinets made from demolition wood, which celebrated the contrasting textures and colours of the wood scraps he used to assemble them.

Piet Hein Eek finds his inspiration in the beauty of the discarded materials he uses: In addition to waste wood, old metal plates, factory scrap, discarded beams and pipes and much more. Based on the found working material, he decides on the concept and the processing methods and finally expresses the natural qualities of the reused material. The result is unique pieces with a unique character and unmistakable appearance. Each piece is carefully handcrafted in Piet Hein Eek’s own workshop in Eindhoven with great effort. In addition to various workplaces and workshops, his huge premises also include a showroom, a shop, a restaurant and a hotel.

The name Piet Hein Eek stands for originality and exclusivity, because his creations clearly stand out from those of other designers and are often only available in small quantities. His product range is extremely broad and extends from chairs, tables, sideboards and beds to lamps and garden houses. His works can be purchased from selected dealers worldwide and have also been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
