From Francesca:
The London Design Festival may be coming to a close, but the Piet Hein Eek Pop-Up shop at the Rabih Hage gallery will be open until October 31st, presenting a rare opportunity for those in London to see a wide selection of the Dutch designer’s work. For the uninitiated, Piet Hein Eek is celebrated for his use of scrap materials in creating compellingly naive, yet somehow refined and sophisticated, furniture.Via MoCo Loco.
