Kiki Van Eijk is a designer born in 1978 in the Netherlands. She graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2000. Her graduation project, the carpet Kiki Carpet, inspired by an embroidery, attracted a lot of attention in the world of design. In 2001, she opened her studio in Eindhoven, which she continues to share with designer Joost van Bleiswijk. However, their work is almost always done separately.

Her work is often very poetic and personal. It is inspired by nostalgia and craftsmanship. His designs are mainly unique or in limited editions, and his creations range from carpets, lighting, furniture, glassware to textiles. In particular, she designed the Matrice collection of lighting fixtures edited by the French crystal house Saint-Louis.

She works for many prestigious clients such as Studio Edelkoort Paris, Design Academy Eindhoven, Haans, Moooi, Bernhardt Design, Audax Textile Museum and Hermès.
