Spazio Nobile is delighted to announce Kiki van Eijk and Joost Van Bleiswijk’s second solo show at Spazio Nobile Gallery and Studiolo. This exhibition, curated by Maria Cristina Didero, aims to showcase their artistic work as the result of a long-term collaboration involving the sharing of ideas, gestures and the act of creation itself. Over the course of two decades, they have cultivated a personal, complementary language based on intuitive drawing, architectural precision and a shared commitment to their studio as a space for open innovation. Kiki & Joost create worlds, not just objects, resisting the forces of speed, superficiality and mass production. Kiki van Eijk is one of the most accomplished names in the world of Dutch design. Her interest in product design developed at the Design Academy Eindhoven where she met her partner, designer Joost van Bleiswijk. Her range of work extends from installations to furniture, from lighting to textiles, ceramics or glassware. Inspired by the smallest details of everyday and by the forms of nature, Kiki’s world is whimsical and colorful, lyrical and personal, yet refined by a rigorous attention to the process and skillful craftsmanship. Joost van Bleiswijk is a designer, artist and teacher who gives great value to the process of making. He studied at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, where he met his partner, Kiki van Eijk and founded a studio in 2001 to become one of the most accomplished Dutch designers. Today he runs Studio Thinking Hands, a core studio within Design Academy Eindhoven’s BA program. A genuine fascination for the making of the object, revealed in the outcome, is the starting point of his creative process. The workshop is where Joost engages with the experience of designing as an intensely physical act. The creative process unfolds in a quite instinctive and gestural way. His range of work extends from fine furniture to large scale installation, from architecture to accessories, from lighting to ceramics.
