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 scrap wood, which celebrated the contrasting textures and colors 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 scrap 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 processing methods and finally expresses the natural qualities of the recycled 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. On his huge premises, in addition to various workplaces and workshops, there is also a showroom, a store, 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 includes chairs, tables, sideboards, beds, lamps and garden houses. His works are available at selected dealers worldwide and have also been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
