The PI collection honours nature’s design by keeping the strength, curves and lines, as nature intended.

Interesting shapes are discovered in this sleek and stylish, polished imperfect finish. Each PI wall coat rack is finished by hand to ensure that the individual character of the wood is respected. Designed by Alain van Havre.

DESIGNER

ALAIN VAN HAVRE

Alain van Havre works fulltime for Ethnicraft as in-house designer.

The complexity of things has always intrigued him, which led him to study product development at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

To him, all design embodies the same duality: the aim is to create a timeless product, yet with a hint to the specific moment in which it is made. We are always influenced by the past; however, it is up to us to find the right balance between past and present.

Alain, who is a friend of Philippe Delaisse and Benoit Loos, started working at Ethnicraft in 1999 - first in Operations in Ethnicraft Azur in Aixen- Provence and since 6 years in product development.

It was a perfect match, especially since he considers wood as a continuously evolving material, where boundaries are pushed further every day, creating endlessly new challenges.
