Piet Hein Eek was born in 1967 in Holland. He studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven, and it is thanks to his graduation project “Scrapwood Creations” that he was noticed by the design industry. Basing his business around the idea of reused materials, he established his own studio in 1992 in Eindhoven, which now also serves as a factory space, showroom, gallery, and restaurant.
