In 1998 the creative couple Rick van Dongen and Piety de Jong started Zouthout, an artists initiative on the Dutch isle Terschelling. They search the beach for nice, genuine pieces of wood, and create exclusive furniture and accessories of it. Doing that, they refuse to use the saw where it is not needed, so all significant details stay intact. Due to the character of their supplier (the North Sea), they have to search the beach frequently and wait till all parts wash ashore before being able to build their works. The result is a unique piece, of which there is no second one in the world. Totally hand made. If you want to take a look at their work, click the button "meubels" for furniture, and "woonaccessoires" for accessories.
