"An imaginary world in which everything is mixed, combined and questioned". This is the soul of the new collection born from the collaboration between Kiki Van Eijk and Secondome director Claudia Pignatale. Two young women in their early thirties with a fresh and poetic look on design, take a new approach, which is all about the joy of “making and sketching things” by hand, without any computer involved. The project is all about the personality and emotion found within an object. Now, more than 1 year after the first inspiration, this special collection for Secondome is finished and will have it’s world premiere in Rome!
By first making hundreds of sketches, 7 final objects have just appeared with diverse references such as wheel, cart, high clock, bird cage, niche, farm, bourgeois, primitive, complicated, rich, poor. Each object is an assembly of colours, forms and materials such as solid wood, brass, copper, ceramics, textiles, mirror, steel. It represents the joy and importance of making things by hand without computers and really “designing by making”.
The pieces show Kiki’s big love for materials, experimentation, research, sketches, settings, proportions, curiosities and every-day beauty.
