The New Metallics: Beds by Piet Hein Eek

Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek—a Remodelista favorite—has collaborated with Dutch eco-bedding line Yumeko to design three handmade beds to complement the "luxurious simplicity" of the Yumeko brand. The beds—in copper, oak, and powder-coated steel—are the bedding company's first foray into furniture.

Above: The attached headboard is lined with felt from a traditional felt maker in Portugal; it's not dyed, but is the same ivory color of the sheep's wool.
