History repeats itself; just like furniture makers of the past used to create the most beautiful objects on behalf of kings, emperors and the very wealthy, so now do I design and we create for the new kings and emperors. This is not what I wanted, long ago I expressly chose to make an affordable collection and not to focus on unique and extremely expensive objects.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\">\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-1-2.png 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-1-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-1-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-1-2-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Waste waste Organic Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-4-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-4-1.png 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-4-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-4-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-4-1-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Twinset Tree Trunk Cabinet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-3-1.png 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-3-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-3-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-3-1-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Old Oak Cabinet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A year or so ago, Job (of studio Job) commented that I had missed the mark when it comes to luxury items. Luckily, I can now say that I have not completely failed at my goal because, as well as special and labour-intensive products, we still make affordable items. The Crisis Collection is perhaps the best example. We have now also devised a \u201cpop up production store\u201d for Merci (the concept store in Paris). Job almost had a heart attack when he read that we are organising an auction with Troostwijk. We are good friends, and he had the feeling that I was digging my own grave again. Whether or not that is the case, time will tell, but for now it\u2019s a fun experiment! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-8.png 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-8-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-8-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-8-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Glenn (one of our master carpenters) has made the \u201cpop up production store\u201d prototypes.

In the store in Paris! Customers can choose the model and colour on the spot.&nbsp;The presentation was supposed to take place during Maison Objet but this fair has been postponed, so the pressure was off and we were able to complete the idea in our own time and make thorough preparations.&nbsp;So, we will soon be opening our very first \u201cpop up production\u201d store in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10.png 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>The good news is that we really have sold a lot this year and that, for the first time in years, productivity has gone up instead of down.

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\/pop-up-productie-bij-merci-in-parijs-uitgesteld#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/pop-up-productie-bij-merci-in-parijs-uitgesteld"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/pop-up-productie-bij-merci-in-parijs-uitgesteld#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Piet-Hein-Eek-Blog-Merci-pop-Up-Parijs-\u2013-10.png","width":1500,"height":1000},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/actueel\/pop-up-productie-bij-merci-in-parijs-uitgesteld#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Pop
