Piet Hein Eek's Restaurant features upcycled furniture at Eindhoven

Cycling around Eindhoven's Strijp-s area we stumbled upon another former Phillips factory building that has been recycled into a stunning design space. The Restaurant of Piet Hein Eek and his partner in crime Nob Ruijgrok is a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner, and the space is filled upcycled furniture. The restaurant first opened its doors back in 2010 during the start of that year's Dutch Design Week, and the green interior reflects the company's ethos of combining fun with sophistication.
