Piet Hein Eek graduated in 1993 from the Design Academy in Eindhoven with a demolished wood cabinet. His work has been displayed in the City Museum of Amsterdam and in Groningen. When one of his ex-employees offers similar furniture he starts a procedure. The judge assumes that the furniture Piet Hein Eek designed have copyright. The rectangular table is made a lacquered tiles and certainly has an original and personal character. When a table is made in a different shape, but maintains all the other characteristics there is an infringement of copyright.
