# Eindhoven designer Piet Hein Eek

Eindhoven designer Piet Hein Eek. In our series of movies from Eindhoven, Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek discusses his fascination with waste materials and explains how he set up his huge studio complex in the city to manufacture his own products.

Piet Hein Eek's studio, which we visited during Dutch Design Week 2013, is housed in a large former factory on the outskirts of Eindhoven.

"It wasn't meant to be this big," says Hein Eek. "But when we bought the building this was the only one where the workplace could be in the heart of the company, which was important for us."
