Description

This cabinet was Piet Hein Eek’s first piece made from demolition wood. It is carefully crafted in Piet Hein Eek’s workshop in Holland using traditional woodworking techniques according to your colour preferences. The combination of recycled wood and sophisticated design gives this cabinet exceptional beauty and vibrancy. To fully express the texture of the wood, a final lacquer finish is not applied. Each piece is unique, based on the material available at the time.

The cabinet is assembled from two parts that are placed on top of each other. The upper part with 2 doors has 2 inner shelves and 10 small drawers. The lower part has three large drawers.

After you have placed your order, we will discuss your colour preferences with you by e-mail and, on the basis of colour samples, we will order the cabinet that suits you from Piet Hein Eek. Piet Hein Eek will try to match the desired colour palettes, but cannot guarantee an exact match.

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 house 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.
