Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek does just that. He was once caught saying: “Everyone is trying to make perfect furniture so I did the opposite, I made furniture that is imperfect. I like using materials that are worthless and acting as though they are precious.”
This cute sideboard is made entirely from reclaimed wood bits and it is an ultimate eco-friendly design. Although it is a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture a probably costs a fortune, it is a feast for eye and an inspiration for any DIY enthusiast.
Look what Piet Hein Eek has made from timber bits that the majority of us would just throw in a wood burner. The result is stunning – the texture and the clean lines makes you forget its humble origins.
