We sold a whole load to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The collection is one of our classics. It has actually never been the sales success I had counted on, but nevertheless more designs have been added over the years. The last adjustment I made myself was to put ordinary aluminium legs underneath the top of a low, narrow little table so that Lieve, my oldest daughter, could have a desk underneath her window. On the stairs, with the feather-light table above my head, I realised that it was actually a fantastic product; dismountable, light, beautiful and with a long, rich history.<\/p>\n<p>When I asked Hans what he thought of it, in 2020, in the middle of corona time, he was immediately enthusiastic. He even remembered that they had been in the MoMA for a long time and we decided to present not only the \u2018<em>made in the workshop<\/em>\u2019 collection, but also the \u2018<em>alu collection by Lensvelt<\/em>\u2019. Despite the applicable measures at the time, we thought it would be fun. Now it can be seen in our showroom, which is open as normal, and we will make it much more fun another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/28-700x1050.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>23-10-2020 &#8211; I have known Hans Lensvelt since way back.

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\/lensvelt#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/lensvelt"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/lensvelt#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3d905895-efb4-4e70-a484-d9bd810d8aa2-thumbnail.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3d905895-efb4-4e70-a484-d9bd810d8aa2-thumbnail.jpg","width":574,"height":574},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/lensvelt#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/home"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Lensvelt x Piet Hein 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\/2020\/10\/3d905895-efb4-4e70-a484-d9bd810d8aa2-thumbnail-300x300.jpg","coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Current<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Current<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 6 years ago","modified":"Updated 5 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 23-10-2020","modified":"Updated on 18-11-2021"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 23-10-2020 08:38","modified":"Updated on 18-11-2021 09:20"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50916","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=50916"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51220,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50916\/revisions\/51220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
