PIET HEIN EEK
Product Design
Pied Hein Eek is a Dutch product designer.
One of his most acclaimed collections is the 'Scrapwood' in which, as the name says, he uses only pieces of reclaimed wood to construct each furniture.
This collection was first idealized in 1990 as the designers' reaction 'against the prevalent craving for flawlessness' showing that even an imperfect piece can have an aesthetic appeal and be functional. The main idea was to produce a number of different furniture with an abundant material, even with the most limited resources.
Yet, he does not consider himself as a Green designer, but he embraces the ideals of sustainability in his work out of a respect for the environment and commitment to efficiency.
