Proposals for the dining area in the showroom, in the large room on the first floor Piet Hein Eek has created a new art venue to host their works or other artists-designers.

Lights-crystal sculptures of Hans Van Bentem.

Even if the space were double to what we were looking for, we did not hesitate: “My imagination was immediately put in motion,” he says. “With an area so vast the possibilities were endless. For example, I wanted to set up a dining room for guests. But this could rise to a real restaurant! Then I came other ideas, give life to a shop, in addition to the showroom. And a dedicated space for workshops for young talents. “

Behind the kitchen two long tables, used every day by Piet Hein Eek team for lunch, but they can also be booked for groups, pendant lamps are made with fabrics from the collection of Paul Smith.

The restaurant, managed by Laura Weteling, wife of Nob Ruigrok, a member of Piet. A unique mix of lights from an old church and furniture purchased at auction, as well as tables, chairs and lights that are part of the Piet’s collection.
