Item Description
A distinctive Scrapwood Baby Crib by Piet Hein Eek, exemplifying the Dutch designer’s celebrated approach to sustainable materials, honest construction and functional design. Crafted from reclaimed scrap wood, the crib celebrates the natural variations in grain, color and texture of the material. The irregular character of the wood is not concealed but forms an essential part of the design, creating the distinctive and highly recognizable aesthetic of Piet Hein Eek’s Scrapwood collection. This example is in wonderful all-original condition and features an adjustable-height bottom, allowing the sleeping surface to be positioned at different heights. Practical, robust and unmistakably Dutch, the crib perfectly embodies Eek’s no-nonsense approach to design, in which sustainability, functionality and material expression come together. His Scrapwood furniture has become particularly coveted by architects, designers and collectors for its distinctive aesthetic and innovative use of reclaimed materials. A rare and highly characterful example of contemporary Dutch design, combining practical function with Piet Hein Eek’s iconic Scrapwood aesthetic.
