Kiki van Eijk loves beautiful old things: a silver sugar spoon, golden scissors. In her grandma’s button box, she found a host of mini masterpieces that provided the inspiration for this Glass Cloth, which she designed for the ‘by TextielMuseum’ label.
Van Eijk (1978) graduated in 2000 from the Design Academy Eindhoven. She made a name for herself with her famous Kiki Carpet. Her work, which is highly personal and emotional in nature, is now sold worldwide. She finds inspiration in beautiful objects and details that she finds as she goes about her day. She has been commissioned by various companies, institutions and museums, including Studio Edelkoort Paris, Design Academy Eindhoven, MOOOI, van Kempen & Begeer, Häagen-Dazs, Bernhardt Design, Forbo Flooring, Hermès, Saint-Louis, TextielMuseum, Zuiderzee Museum Enkhuizen, Het Noordbrabants Museum and the Rijksmuseum
