Description

This sideboard is carefully crafted in Piet Hein Eek’s workshop in Holland from leftover pieces of wood from the production of other furniture. The combination of recycled wood and sophisticated design gives this sideboard exceptional beauty and vibrancy.

The characteristic high-gloss finish is created by applying at least ten layers of lacquer. This gives the sideboard a refined look. Since the back is also perfectly finished, the sideboard can also be placed as a room divider. The handles and hinges made from discarded heating pipes complete the low tech creation, which brings the skill and craftsmanship of Piet Hein Eek to the fore.

The sideboard offered here has one door and three drawers, optionally on the left or right. The interior consists of matt white lacquered plywood.

Each piece of furniture from the “waste scrapwood” collection is unique, based on the material available in each case.

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

The sideboard is also available in the following sizes and finishes:

3-piece: 2 doors / 3 drawers, 227cm x 50cm x 90cm (WxDxH)
4-piece: 3 doors / 3 drawers, 300cm x 50cm x 90cm (WxDxH)

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.
