Kiki van Eijk was born in 1978 in the Netherlands. In 2000 she graduated with an honorary mention from the Design Academy Eindhoven. Her graduation project, the Kiki Carpet, inspired by an embroidery, attracted a lot of attention in the design world.
In 2001, she opened her studio in Eindhoven, which she continued to share with designer Joost van Bleiswijk. However, their work is almost always done separately.
Kiki van Eijk’s work is often very poetic and personal, and inspired by nostalgia and craftsmanship.
Her designs are mainly unique or in limited editions, and her works range from carpets, lighting, furniture, ceramics, glassware to textiles.
Her client list includes Studio Edelkoort Paris, Design Academy Eindhoven, Haans, Moooi, Bernhardt Design, Audax Textile Museum and Hermès.
