When we say works of art, we inevitably think of museums. Art lovers have found an original and at least daring method of bringing famous works and extremely valuable creations closer to ordinary people. How? By printing the image on the seat of a chair, the idea belonging to Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek.
Piet Hein Eek chairs are unique. The designer combined modern furniture finishing technology with printing techniques, the images being those taken from the works of great Dutch artists.
The quality of the plywood from which the chairs are made is exceptional. Thus, the wood structure is visible through the printed image. Another original thing about Piet Hein Eek chairs is that they were created to be assembled very easily by anyone who purchases them. The three legs of the chair are assembled in a simple way, thus forming a base for the seat.
The prints reproduced are part of the art collection of the Rijksmuseum museum in Amsterdam, the chairs thus gaining an impressive value simply because you recognize a famous piece found only in a museum or an art atlas. Would you sit on such a chair? Surely, you will admire it for a long time before sitting down at the table.
