Pete Hein
Born: 1905.\ Death: 1996.\ Famous works: Super Egg pendant, Sinus pendant, Ra lamp, Flora Folio pendant, candleholders, decorative art and games.
Piet Hein started life quite conventionally, with normal parents who were civil engineers and ophthalmologists respectively. His childhood and youth in Copenhagen ended with a high school diploma at the Metropolitan School, and he then began introductory studies in philosophy at the University of Copenhagen in the fall of 1924. After that, the now 19-year-old Piet Hein's life became anything but regular. He left university for a time to attend private painting schools in the capital and spent some time as a student at the Kungliga Svenska Konstakademi in Stockholm. He came back and apparently changed tracks again when he studied philosophy and theoretical physics at the University of Copenhagen and the Polytechnic Institute (now the Technical University of Denmark) and the Niels Bohr Institute.
Perhaps this is fundamental to the uniqueness of Piet Hein. For him, there was no insurmountable distance from the subjective world of art to the objective world of science. Throughout his life, he developed and unfolded as both an artist and scientist. Hein had many balls in the air and worked as a poet, author, inventor, mathematician, artist and designer.
An extraordinary life has led to a large and very broad production, a small part of which is lighting, where the basic form is so resistant to the ravages of time that we have a design that is above the whims of fashion and unconcerned with trends and last year's models. Lamps for life are not just empty words when it comes to lamps from Piet Hein.
