Piet Boon (1958) came from a construction background to become one of the most high profile Dutch designers. He began his career as a building contractor and as master craftsman, with a love for natural materials and signature details. He soon transferred his focus on functionality, comfort, timelessness and durability to his designs. Karin Boon (1961) joined the company in 1986 as joint business partner to lead Creative Direction and Styling. She has been instrumental in defining the Piet Boon design philosophy and style. Piet Boon Styling is a clearly recognizable interpretation of materials, textures, colors and meticulous detailing. Piet Boon also collaborates with selected brand association partners, like Land Rover, Miele and Bang & Olufsen among others. In addition Piet Boon® has licensing agreements with 11 partners, including Moooi, Formani, Bod’or and Warendorf. Piet Boon has published successful monographs which show the rapid international development of the design studio into an international luxury lifestyle brand.
