We focus mainly on custom work and special projects and objects. The whole idea hasn\u2019t been hugely successful yet but accepting that a product can become \u2018completely consumed\u2019 and eventually lose its value over the years just doesn\u2019t fit in with our way of thinking and working. It is, however, encouraging to know that there is sometimes much more bid at auctions than we charge or have charged for a product. The fact that we have beautiful second-hand Eeks and that so little interest has been shown in them and that one of our very first custom pieces was returned to us, led us to write this message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"833\"

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. Eek has created his own world which has developed into an important cultural hub in the city of Eindhoven; a dynamic centre where creativity, production and sales go hand in hand.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/second-hand-eek#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/second-hand-eek"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/second-hand-eek#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vondelkast-landscape.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vondelkast-landscape.jpg","width":2276,"height":1024},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/second-hand-eek#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Second-hand Eek!"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#website","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/","name":"PIET HEIN EEK","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#organization","name":"PIET HEIN EEK","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PIET_HEIN_EEK_LOGO_2021.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PIET_HEIN_EEK_LOGO_2021.svg","caption":"PIET HEIN EEK"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PietHeinEek\/","https:\/\/x.com\/pietheineek","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/piet_hein_eek\/","https:\/\/nl.pinterest.com\/pietheineek\/"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/#\/schema\/person\/b030b959911fda3714b3d2ffa7cbb117","name":"Falco","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d426760029ccff83e1a1cc0768819cb31b004ea0ce7cb6ac31765c7faf107be?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d426760029ccff83e1a1cc0768819cb31b004ea0ce7cb6ac31765c7faf107be?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d426760029ccff83e1a1cc0768819cb31b004ea0ce7cb6ac31765c7faf107be?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Falco"}}]}},"author_meta":{"display_name":"Falco","author_link":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/author\/nlpieth-patlidar"},"featured_img":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vondelkast-landscape-300x135.jpg","coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Current<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/uncategorized\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Uncategorized<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Current<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Uncategorized<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 7 years ago","modified":"Updated 6 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 02-09-2019","modified":"Updated on 30-04-2020"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 02-09-2019 14:30","modified":"Updated on 30-04-2020 09:16"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38935"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46466,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38935\/revisions\/46466"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
