Black Sketch Chair by Kiki and Joost

Kiki van Eijk lives in a peaceful farmhouse in Eindhoven and works in a warehouse where she makes fantastical things. She looks at the delicate small details of nature with joy and delight and uses colors with uncommon intuition. Her beliefs? Imagination is more important than knowledge! She is never in a hurry.
Joost van Bleiswijk is a prolific Dutch designer who gives great value to the process of making. He grew up in Delft, and studied at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, where he met his future partner, Kiki van Eijk.
Joost welds, saws, screws and constructs. He casts and moulds. In short: he makes. The workshop as his kingdom where design unfolds. What truly defines him? Interest in the construction of the objects and a quite physical approach. And with only one rule: never follow trends!

This piece of furniture with a ceramic bucket and blanket symbolizes to the habit of peeling potatoes and shrimps at home and repairing fishing nets outdoors. The still life on the ceramic piece of cloth shows a women peeling potatoes with a bucket. With it’s soft colored tulip wood combined with white soft ceramic drawers topped with matte gold glaze this really shows a soft and very romantic side of the history of the Dutch Zuiderzee That currently is known as the sweet-water lake IJsselmeer.
