London Design Festival 2008

Piet Hein Eek

Pop-Up Shop

September 18 / October 31, 2008

Rabih Hage is launching his first pop-up shop with the highly acclaimed Dutch designer-producer, Piet Hein Eek.

The pop-up shop will be Piet’s biggest solo showcase and promises to be a pivotal exhibition in the international recognition of his work.

Piet Hein Eek is a graduate from the inimitable Eindhoven Design Academy and has been working as a furniture designer since 1992, establishing the company Piet Hein Eek in 1993 with Nob Ruijgork. His cupboard built from recycled wood was heralded as one of the most unique pieces ever produced, and continues to receive acclaim.

Combining unusual materials and less universal but elementary production processes have become characteristic traits of his innovative and elegant work with metal, wood and ceramics.

“We produce ourselves, so the designs are created and engineered specifically for our own way of doing things”. (Piet Hein Eek)
