—
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 of demolition wood, which celebrated the contrasting textures and colours of the wood scraps from which he assembled 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.
