As always, everything is different than previous years, except that our presentation will once again be up in the most unfindable place by Rossana Orlandi. Yet up there is actually a wonderful place, as pretty much everyone who comes there, comes especially for us. And this year we have the kingdom to ourselves, at least that is what we have agreed, which is never completely certain in Milan.<\/p>\n<p>This year Rossana has asked us to make our presentation a little more chic. She wants to present new and more expensive objects. This request did not completely match what we are currently doing, nor was it completely at odds. So we gave it a little twist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18119\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Veronese-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Veronese-002.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Veronese-002-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Veronese-002-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Veronese-002-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18121\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photograph: J\u00e9r\u00f4me Galland<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The lamps for Veronese that we presented earlier in the year are certainly very chic, but these are not new. To counterbalance this gleaming luxury we will also present the \u2018plasticbottlelamp\u2019. Hardly anyone finds this plasticbottlelamp beautiful, but the few that are enthusiastic about it recognise the unprecedented fun that it radiates down to the smallest detail. To further accommodate a little good taste, we have made it completely in blue. The plasticbottlelamp may well be made from disposable plastic, but it more than complies with the expensive-product-wish due to the fact that it is completely hand-crafted.<\/p>\n<p>Especially for the <em>Salone<\/em> and ultimately to meet Rossana\u2019s request, we have made a cabinet that almost nobody needs, so it\u2019s really chic. The little cabinet is made from the worst pieces of the NYC water tower wood. The whitened and crackled surface resembles the skin of a prehistoric reptile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18113\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-open.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-open.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-open-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-open-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-open-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18111\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-detail-handgreep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-detail-handgreep.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-detail-handgreep-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-detail-handgreep-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Liquor-cabinet-detail-handgreep-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also with a patina as if it has survived many years is the very first oval table we ever made. The oval shape was originally drawn out using a piece of string and a nail, and sawn with a jigsaw. Now we do this using a CNC machine. The table has come back to us because we have recently tried to give new homes to some special objects that we once made but that are in danger of becoming homeless as people downsize to smaller properties.<\/p>\n<p>The super-affordable, for us, exactly-from-one-sheet-print-cabinets derive their lustre this year from paintings by the old masters that we took from the digital image archive of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. At exactly the same time moment, the first roll of \u2018old-master-wallpaper\u2019 by NLXL rolled out of the printer. For NLXL we are now putting the finishing touches to the most luxurious presentation furniture we have ever made.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18125\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image3-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18117\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Tube-watch-A46.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Tube-watch-A46.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Tube-watch-A46-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first prototypes of a new watch by LEFF Amsterdam arrived a few days ago.

The most significant factor in Eek's career has been the creation of a world that embodies the entire process, from idea to consumer. This has proved to be an exceptional way of producing since it is quite rare to both design and produce furniture 'under the same roof' in countries with high labour costs. Each product is designed with a focus on the material, techniques and craftsmanship required to make it. In 2010, Piet Hein Eek moved his company from Geldrop to a former Philips factory in Eindhoven. The most important part of the company is the production facility (wood, metal, ceramics upholstery and cartonnage) which is located in the heart of the building. The transparency of the building gives visitors insight into the whole production process. The concept of offering a total experience starts with the showroom and the production processes but also includes a restaurant, an art gallery, rented studios, a chip shop, a hairdresser and from October 2020 there will also be a hotel. Eek has worked together with architect Iggie Dekkers since 2015, designing a range of houses and undertaking architectural redevelopments and other construction projects.
