We don&#8217;t know yet whether that is a lot of fun or even fantastic, but we decided to just accept the invitation and go. And we are going for a reason, because we will be presenting a range of new products there, which all have a strong link with attention and modern craftsmanship. In fact, we could have brought any product along with us, since we have never produced anything that did not contain an element that we considered to be the ultimate solution for bridging the gap between high Western production costs and affordable products using our knowledge of material, techniques and craftsmanship. How do you create something under what seem difficult circumstances at first and that is nevertheless worth buying? I think that has everything to do with modern craftsmanship. Craftsmanship does not mean making products in a traditional way, but is all about having the knowledge and skills to deal with and anticipate today&#8217;s problems.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/exempla-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Learning from what we have done and getting better and faster at finding solutions is something we do every day and is a great deal of fun.
