<html><body><p><em>Memories of a Garden</em> is a series of wall hangings created during a residency with artist Marc Mulders at the Baest estate. In May 2025, Van Eijk spent several days in a mobile garden house in the middle of the nature reserve, which was at that time in full bloom.</p>
<p>Inspired by the views and details of specific flowers and plants, she created four watercolours. She then delved into her extensive fabric archive and began the process of cutting, arranging and layering to create rich textile collages. In the lab, these were translated into four woven wall hangings, two of which are shown here.</p>
<p>This series not only celebrates the beauty of nature. It is also a quiet protest against the gradual disappearance of nature from our urban environment and the resulting threat to biodiversity.</p></body></html>

Simone Post,  An Ode to Yarn,  2025

<html><body><p>De Project Space van het TextielLab is een dynamische plek waar kunst en ontwerp samenkomen. Hier zie je werken die recentelijk zijn ontwikkeld in nauwe samenwerking tussen kunstenaars en de experts van het TextielLab. Het gaat niet alleen om het eindresultaat: het maakproces zelf staat centraal. Bezoekers krijgen een kijkje in hoe idee&euml;n ontstaan, hoe schetsen, moodboards en experimenten worden ontwikkeld, en hoe technieken worden uitgeprobeerd om tot het uiteindelijke werk te komen. De Project Space laat zien hoe co-creatie werkt: kunstenaars brengen hun visie mee, terwijl de TextielLab-experts technische kennis en innovatieve methoden inbrengen. Het resultaat is een unieke mix van creativiteit, ambacht en onderzoek, zichtbaar in zowel het proces als het eindwerk.</p></body></html>

<p>Van Eijk has been making her mark on Dutch Design for 20 years. To celebrate two decades of her contribution to this internationally acclaimed design aesthetic, the TextielMuseum presents highlights from her oeuvre in a unique way. For the exhibition, Van Eijk collaborates with set and spatial designer Theun Mosk, who is known for his eye-catching designs for theatre productions as well as his independent installations. Together, they challenge you to playfully discover Van Eijk&rsquo;s designs. Take a look in a large diorama that showcases her tablecloth and tableware, zoom in on the designer&rsquo;s sketches with special camera&rsquo;s, or see objects appear in the lighting while moving around. Shape your own journey of wonder throughout the exhibition and marvel at the poetic work of Kiki van Eijk.</p>

<h3>Fantastical design</h3>
<p>The exhibition shows the breadth of Van Eijk&rsquo;s talent: from colourful wall hangings and luxury textile objects to furniture, clocks and lamps. The departure point for all her work is a lively curiosity that sees her experiment with different materials and production methods including glass, ceramics, bronze and textiles. This versatility results in fantastical and quirky designs that cast a fresh light on everyday objects. Her interest in materials and techniques regularly brought her to the TextielMuseum, where craftsmanship, experimentation and the creative process take centre stage. Many of Van Eijk&rsquo;s textile works were made in the TextielLab, the museum&rsquo;s specialised workshop.</p></body></html>


<html><body><h3>Kiki van Eijk and Theun Mosk invite visitors to discover the designer&rsquo;s work in a way that appeals to multiple senses.</h3>
<h3>From Eindhoven to Coachella</h3>
<p>Van Eijk graduated cum laude in 2000 from the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven. Her work has since been featured in museums, galleries and design fairs worldwide, from Milan and Paris to Tokyo and New York. In addition to her own collections, Van Eijk has designed for Studio Edelkoort, MOOOI, Saint-Louis and other prominent clients. More recently, she has developed an art installation for the forthcoming Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States.</p>

<h3>Tea towels for label &lsquo;by TextielMuseum&rsquo;</h3>
<p>To coincide with the exhibition, the TextielMuseum is launching three exclusive tea towels for its label &lsquo;by TextielMuseum&rsquo;. Inspired by nature, Van Eijk created three vibrant designs that were produced in the TextielLab. The production process can be seen up close on the looms in the lab. The tea towels will be available following the exhibition opening in the TextielShop and via the <a href="http://by.textielmuseum.nl/?_ga=2.4018611.2092773429.1691991523-685131765.1691408862&amp;_gl=1*1tekarh*_ga*Njg1MTMxNzY1LjE2OTE0MDg4NjI.*_ga_0215QYV530*MTY5MjEwMDc1OS4xNS4xLjE2OTIxMDMwNzEuMC4wLjA." target="_blank" rel="noopener">web shop</a>.</p>
<p>During the course of the exhibition, the TextielMuseum will also be organising various workshops and masterclasses inspired by Van Eijk&rsquo;s working method. A book will also be released by nai010 publishers about the craftmanship of Kiki van Eijk entitled &lsquo;Imaginings by Kiki van Eijk&rsquo;. The publication will be available for purchase in the TextielShop and online at <a href="https://www.nai010.com/nl/publicaties/imaginings-by-kiki-van-eijk/245930" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nai010</a>.</p>

<p>Al 20 jaar levert de Eindhovense ontwerper Kiki van Eijk een onderscheidende bijdrage aan het Dutch Design. Het TextielMuseum presenteert de hoogtepunten uit haar werk op een unieke wijze. Van Eijk werkt namelijk samen met scenograaf en ruimtelijk vormgever Theun Mosk, die wordt geprezen om zijn opvallende ontwerpen voor theaterproducties en kunstinstallaties. Samen met Mosk daagt Van Eijk je uit haar designs spelenderwijs te ontdekken. Werp een blik in een grote kijkdoos om tafelgoed van haar hand te aanschouwen, zoom met camera&rsquo;s in op schetsen van de ontwerper, en zie objecten in de belichting verschijnen terwijl je door de tentoonstelling beweegt. Bepaal je eigen ontdekkingstocht door de expositie en verwonder je over het po&euml;tische werk van Kiki van Eijk.</p>

<h3>Wonderlijk design</h3>
<p>De tentoonstelling toont een divers palet aan designproducten van de Eindhovense ontwerper: van kleurrijke wandkleden en luxe textielobjecten tot meubels, klokken en lampen. Als ontwerper werkt Kiki van Eijk vanuit een levendige nieuwsgierigheid, waarbij zij altijd onderzoekend te werk gaat. Ze experimenteert met verschillende materialen en productiemethoden, of het nu glas, keramiek, brons of textiel betreft. Dat veelzijdige vakmanschap levert een wonderlijk en eigenzinnig design op, dat je anders laat kijken naar alledaagse voorwerpen en objecten. Haar interesse in materialen en techniek bracht haar geregeld naar het TextielMuseum. In het TextielLab, de specialistische werkplaats van het museum, ontstonden veel van Van Eijks textiele werken.</p></body></html>

<html><body><p>Kiki van Eijk is known for her highly imaginative designs: from quirky clocks to tapestries for Google and poetic window displays for the French luxury brand Herm&egrave;s. The Eindhoven-based designer has been making a distinctive contribution to Dutch Design for 20 years. To celebrate this, the TextielMuseum presented highlights from her work in the exhibition 'Imaginings | Dutch Design by Kiki van Eijk.' For the exhibition, Van Eijk designed 'Botanica,' a collection of tea towels inspired by vegetables from her own garden.</p></body></html>


<html><body><p data-start="0" data-end="344">Homegrown tomatoes, zucchinis, and radishes steal the show in Kiki van Eijk's 'Botanic' tea towel collection. The rich color palette from the designer's garden is captured in textile form by combining five colors of fine thread. The pattern along the edge is a subtle reference to 20th-century textiles from the collection of the TextielMuseum.</p>

<html><body><p>Zelfgeteelde tomaten, courgettes en radijsjes stelen de show in de &lsquo;Botanic&rsquo; theedoekencollectie van Kiki van Eijk. Het rijke kleurenpalet uit de tuin van de ontwerpster wordt in textielvorm vastgelegd door vijf kleuren dun garen met elkaar te combineren. Het patroon langs de rand is een subtiele verwijzing naar 20e-eeuwse textielen uit de collectie van het TextielMuseum.</p>
