This collection of furniture by Dutch designer Kiki van Eijk looks like it’s made of textiles but is in fact fashioned from solid metal.

The Eindhoven designer used laser-cutting, welding and blow-torching plus gold- and nickel-coated thread to give the illusion of lace, piping, fringing and crochet.

The Textile Sketch range includes a dining table, high table, low table, lamp, chair and room-divider.

It’s on show at The Pop-up Generation exhibition at MOTI Museum until 12th April.
