Fourteen times already, that\u2019s been the case, and suddenly past results do count after all. Especially when it comes to professional musicians putting their heart and soul into music every single day instead of into trade \u2014 which in turn is influenced by madmen in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And all of that as guests in our workshop, where they will perform on Saturday evening, May 23, and on Sunday evening, May 24, in the restaurant, where you can dine together with the musicians who will also perform for you and talk about the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t get more beautiful, yet somehow every time it does.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

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\/uncategorized\/it-does-get-more-beautiful#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/uncategorized\/it-does-get-more-beautiful"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/uncategorized\/it-does-get-more-beautiful#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/mellemeivogel_storioni_phe_2024-20_53745635778_o.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/mellemeivogel_storioni_phe_2024-20_53745635778_o.jpg","width":2048,"height":1365},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/uncategorized\/it-does-get-more-beautiful#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"It
