Ill prepared as we were, we wandered out to Piet Hein Eek's sprawling design wonderland not really expecting that much.

Fools!

The whole set up there is really starting to take shape and since we were last there they have managed to attract a couple of very high quality tenants, including Dirk Van Der Kooij and Lotty Lindeman

In addition, during Dutch Design Week three ateliers presented jointly under the name "Door 22" , an exhibition which featured "Compartimenten" by Rene Siebum.

Essentially a series of individual wood boxes that the user can position on the wall to suit their requirments, Compartimenten had a real charm and sense of its own right to exist that really appealed to us.

That and groves in each box to allow the lamp cable to be unobtrusively placed as required.

In addition the individual boxes can also be bound together to create one, sub-divided, storage box.

Compartimenten by Rene Siebum isn't the only system of this kind on the market.

It did however impress us much more than any similar system we have seen of late.
