Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek has grabbed repute for his scarp wood furniture. Hein Eek utilizes wood cut offs and scraps to craft inspiring tables, chairs, cupboards, cabinets and much more. Green lovers will surely get allured with the new line of furniture items that Hein Eek put on display at the Spazio Rosanna Orlandi in Milan last year.
It is a great idea to reuse wood scraps to assemble new furniture items. The Eindhoven based designer does it quite superbly using discarded timber cut offs, which can be gathered from big furniture stores and ruins of old furniture items. This green idea proffers much kindness to the nature. First of all, it reuses the old wood stuffs, prevents the need to pull down many more trees and gives us bizarre furniture items.
Hein Eek would like to call his wood crap furniture series as ‘back to basics design,’ since the old and not refurbished materials are used to design the furniture, it is right to call them so. A chunky beam seating from the designer is a best example for his expertise in working with wood scraps or cutoffs to build pretty good items. He used large reclaimed beams to design the furniture.
However, designing furniture out of wood scraps indeed requires enough deliberation. At a glance, the designs may look simple and easy, but in reality its takes a rather long process to design, experiment and build the items, Hein Eek says. Well, the furniture items made out of the recycled materials look quite stunning and motivating.
