Multi-talented artist Piet Hein is one of Denmark’s greatest natural treasures: a creative genius familiar to most, either by virtue of his ingenious ‘grook’ verse or from having dined while seated around one of his superellipse™ tables.

Piet Hein applied the superellipse in designing the seat and back of the PIET HEIN chair. The slender, dual curved veneer shells create a visually balanced piece of furniture that provides great seating comfort and freedom of movement. The seat and back are mounted on a stackable steel frame.
 
The two hindmost legs of the frame angle rearwards, giving the chair a receptive expression while optimizing its stability at the same time. A significant aspect of the chair’s powerful graphic silhouette is attributable to the back’s continuous steel tubes positioned quite close together – a design touch that infuses the PIET HEIN chair with dynamic elegance at the same time.

Care
The Sibast Furniture collection is designed and manufactured to last for generations. It is made with the same attention to detail, craftsmanship and high quality as our ancestors. To ensure it ages gracefully and with the longest lifespan, it is important that it is properly maintained and cared for as recommended in our maintenance and care instructions.

All furniture included in the Sibast Furniture collection is made out of natural material such as wood, fabric and leather. This means that differences will occur in both finishes and material and that natural markings in the leather hides as well as natural variations in the surface of the wood and the color of the finishes must be appreciated and expected.
