That's Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek's take on "sustainable design," straight from a recent interview with Dwell magazine ...
Eek goes on to say: "For me, it's about quality and creating a look that is timeless rather than a design that is fashionable. Most of our furniture gets old in a beautiful way."
It's no secret that we're big fans of Eek's work here at AT. He designs striking furniture using mostly scrap wood and metal. And, given our feelings on the topics of durability and craftsmanship, this interview definitely endears him to us even more.
