eco: ecological & economic … Furniture: unique products of worthless material; waste material from the industry and nature by Piet Hein Eek: “The free work brings the theme of the rest of the work to a head…. We do not make unpersonal mass-products but unique products of worthless material; waste material from the industry and nature. Instead of minimalizing the amount of work we process the material with angel’s patience. The attention for these products is exemplary to our work. The materials we use are uncommon and modifying. Because of this, products arise that suprise me too. I would never have come up with the tree-trunk chair, if I’ld design from my traditional sense of beauty. Allthough this chair didn’t come from this, it does appeal to it. Therefor the self initiated work also serves to shake off my own truths and shift my bounderies.”
