He sent me back a very boorish letter to which I decided to reply and wrote that I was fine with being rejected, but it had to be in a decent way. Henk immediately bought my items and since then it has been impossible to imagine VOS in Groningen without my designs. Actually, my relationship with the Vos family began with my graduation, where I first came into real and proper contact with Roderick on the day it happened. We had completely different work, (we still do) but recognized each other&#8217;s quality and supported each other. 30 exciting years later, Bart is the sole owner of VOS. We don&#8217;t write letters anymore, but send texts, emails and we visit each other. Our stuff is selling better than ever in Groningen. Bart is enthusiastic, like he&#8217;s just starting out and has thought we should organize the biggest Eek show ever. We produced away as if our lives depended on it and Bart directed the whole operation with his team as if it were nothing. Saturday, December 9, is the official opening of our finest and most complete presentation to date. I am not proud of what I make, that is the outcome of a process and also goes easier and easier over time, but I am proud of the friendship without which this exhibition would not have existed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\"

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\/en\/news\/exhibition-at-vos#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\/exhibition-at-vos"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\/exhibition-at-vos#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DSC03055-scaled.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DSC03055-scaled.jpg","width":2560,"height":1756},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\/exhibition-at-vos#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/home"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Exhibition at VOS"}]},{"@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\/189b4fdab8d7a978604a159c33ac46a6","name":"Luna","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/088c6bf685339f084ed0a016c27bbaa959f78712d2fa94ff90e0d720b3142665?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/088c6bf685339f084ed0a016c27bbaa959f78712d2fa94ff90e0d720b3142665?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/088c6bf685339f084ed0a016c27bbaa959f78712d2fa94ff90e0d720b3142665?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Luna"}}]}},"author_meta":{"display_name":"Luna","author_link":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/author\/pippi_dijkstra"},"featured_img":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DSC03055-300x206.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\/exhibition\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Exhibition<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Current<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Exhibition<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 2 years ago","modified":"Updated 2 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 06-12-2023","modified":"Updated on 06-12-2023"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 06-12-2023 15:29","modified":"Updated on 06-12-2023 15:29"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71919","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\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71919"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71920,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71919\/revisions\/71920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
