Description

This coffee table is carefully crafted in Piet Hein Eek’s workshop in Holland. The combination of recycled wood and sophisticated design gives this coffee table an exceptional beauty and liveliness. All products from the “waste scrapwood” collection are each given over ten coats of lacquer and a high gloss finish. The result is a smooth and extremely pleasant to touch surface that contrasts with the exposed, textured sides. Due to the nature of the material used in its manufacture, each piece is unique.

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

The standard size of this coffee table is 120cm x 80cm with a height of 25cm. Almost all deviating dimensions are also available. For this, please contact us by email or phone.

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.
