Conversation Piece
With her Conversation Piece, Kiki van Eijk highlights the contrast between industry and craftsmanship. She noticed how art and design fairs tend to sell furniture pieces made of expensive and sustainable materials, while industrial mass production creates objects that are often affordable but of poor quality. By forcefully combining these two worlds, Van Eijk aims to jolt the viewer into some serious reflection.[text 2023]
