kiki van eijk

The most important thing i added to my israeli DNA, during studying in Milano, is the respect for tradition . "no future with ought a past' is the slogan heard again and again.
so, it`s quit obvious that i admire all about craft-handmade-ready-made design.

i think it`s all about making it personal, a soul design if you like.when i look at an ojbect, i wanna feel the designer touch. so, you can imagine why i like kiki van eijk work.Milan 08 Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk presented reCollections
