Invited by Dutch Housing Corporation Ymere and Team V Architecture, Kiki was challenged to design the artworks that would bring together building and garden.<\/h4>\n

She designed stoneware seaters, lighting and a gigantic pergola for the communal garden to encourage inhabitants to take a break, get together for a chat and feel welcome and safe.<\/h4>\n

The project proofs how design can be an added value in societal systems. This social housing is designed and made with attention to details, materials, tactility, in a modern way. It connects people. Inhabitants feel proud and grateful to be part of this and being the lucky ones to live here!<\/h4>\n

Tracymetz wrote a piece for \u2018De Architect\u2019 published 15 Jan 2025. A quote from her last passage of the article:<\/h4>\n

\u2018The pi\u00e8ce de resistance are the lamps and the seatings in the front garden. In consultation with Ymere, Team V invited Eindhoven artist Kiki van Eijk to make seating, furniture and lamps. They are part of her long-running Soft series, in which objects such as clocks are made of earthenware with a soft-looking surface.<\/h4>\n

The \u2018poufs\u2019 in the garden are made of red-brown ceramic, each individually handmade. Wall lamps hang on the facade and there are pendant lamps on the pergola that Van Eijk also designed. As if to say: come in, sit down, you are at home here, in a building that says: be welcome.\u2019<\/h4>\n

Special Thanks to Cor Unum Ceramics, producer of the stoneware elements<\/h4>\n
