I've been a fan of
Piet Hein Eek's work since I spotted his designs in
Elle Decoration a couple of years ago. I really admire the fact that someone can actually create something so beautiful out of reclaimed wood (like
this headboard made by House Tweaking) or this
Pallet chair by Studiomama which one day I'm hoping to make for our
Summer house.
Piet Hein Eek's designs are unique and merge artisan handcraft with skilled design but I also feel (
and that's me believing in good karma) that this whole approach to a more
eco-friendly design, his commitment to use reclaimed wood and his handcraft can only have a positive impact on our lives, our homes and the world of design in general.
So I can't tell you how happy I am to have his amazing and unique collection of
Scrapwood wallpaper on
BODIE and FOU.
The
Scrapwood wallpaper by Piet Hein Eek has the warm, rustic feel that real wood brings to a room. Like the
Bookshelf wallpaper, this is the kind of wallpaper design that is simply perfect to create a feature wall and this one has an industrial vibe that I love very much.
Think about this
Dutch home and more specifically their kitchen (which is my inspiration for our kitchen in London) and how great just one wall would look with low-level kitchen units, the other walls painted in white, maybe a couple of floating shelves from Ikea to display handmade ceramics....
With just one roll, you can easily cover up to 4 sqm which should be enough to re-invent a corner of your home, an office space, kitchen, a beach house or a kids bedroom like the photo below.
Scrapwood wallpapaper at BODIE and FOU Les designs de Piet Hein Eek sont uniques et ont ce doux melange d'artisanat et design de pointe mais j'ai aussi l'impression (
et ca c'est moi qui croit au karma positif) que son approche du design, son engagement a n'utiliser que du bois de recup', son talent a creer quelque chose des ses mains ne peuvent avoir q'un impact positif sur nos vies, nos maisons et le design en general.
Du coup, vous imaginez a quel point, je suis super excitee d'avoir sa collection de
papier peint Bois de recup' sur
BODIE and FOU.
Le
papier peint Bois de Recup de Piet Hein Eek a le meme charme rustique et chaleureux que le vrai bois apporte a une piece. Comme le
Bookshelf wallpaper, c'est aussi un papier-peint qui est simplement parfait pour creer un impact visuel (
feature wall...je ne sais pas comment le traduire) et celui-ci a un petit cote industriel que j'affectionne particulierement.
Prenez cette
maison en Hollande et plus particulierement leur cuisine (qui est mon inspiration pour notre cuisine a Londres) et imaginez a quel point ce papier peint aurait l'air parfait juste sur un mur, avec des unites de cuisine basses, les autres murs peints en blanc, quelques etageres flotantes de chez Ikea pour mettre en valeur quelques ceramiques...
Avec juste un rouleau, vous couvrez jusqu'a 4 m2, ce qui suffisant pour refaire un bureau a la maison, un mur de cuisine, une maison de vacances ou meme une chambre d'enfant.
Psssttt: Until 05/03/2011, you can also win one roll on my friend's fabulous blog
