Eichholtz

A quarter century of timeless luxury.

Founded in 1998 by Theo Eichholtz in the Netherlands, Eichholtz has become one of the world's most recognised names in luxury furniture, lighting and accessories. Their philosophy — Timeless Revolution — sits at the intersection of classic craftsmanship and contemporary design. With over 252,000 Instagram followers and distribution through the world's finest interior designers, hospitality specialists and luxury retailers, Eichholtz is not simply a furniture brand. It is a world. Your outdoor collection — crafted from grade A teak, powder-coated aluminium, Sunbrella canvas and hand-woven rope — captures the same effortless luxury that defines your interiors, brought outside.
Eichholtz
The outdoor collection

Ultimate Outdoor Luxury Lifestyle.

Pieces we would build a Knops garden around.

Eichholtz does not make compromises with their outdoor furniture. Every piece begins with material integrity — teak that deepens with age, aluminium that weathers without rust, rope that carries the warmth of natural fibre. These are the foundations of what we want to bring to the Knops audience.

Cap-Antibes Collection

Sunbrella-upholstered lounge seating with a timeless Riviera stripe. Teak frame. A sofa set that defines a terrace.

Weston Double Daybed

Grade A teak frame, Viola Sand rope weave. A statement piece that transforms any outdoor space into a destination.

Curated by Knops
Eichholtz — by Knops

A curated signature selection of Eichholtz outdoor pieces, chosen and presented by Erik Knops. Not a catalogue. A point of view.

Trinity Collection

Hand-woven cream rope on a teak frame. Dining chairs and lounge seating with a Mediterranean lightness that ages into beauty.

Julian Series

Aged teak in its most honest form. Raw, natural, sculptural. A dining table and chairs designed to outlast a generation.

The opportunity

"
The outdoor furniture market is $53 billion and growing. The Knops audience already lives in that world — they just haven't found their way in yet.
The market opportunity

Outdoor living is the fastest-growing segment in luxury home.

And the luxury outdoor furniture segment is leading it.

Driven by the rise of staycation culture, the premium of outdoor living space, and a generation of homeowners investing in their gardens as seriously as their interiors, the global outdoor furniture market has never been more relevant. The luxury segment is growing fastest — as consumers who have already finished their interiors turn their attention to the outdoor space that remains. This is exactly where Eichholtz and Knops live. And it is exactly where they can lead together.

The story behind Knops

Erik Knops started in the garden.

What began with designing outdoor spaces for private clients evolved into a complete philosophy about how people live outside. Through Knops Tuindesign, Erik and his team have created some of the most admired gardens in the Netherlands — spaces where every element, from the plants to the furniture to the light, is chosen with intention. That same eye, that same refusal to compromise, is what we bring to this collaboration with Eichholtz. Not just a commercial proposition. A vision of what outdoor living can be — and a belief that more people deserve access to it.
Why this partnership

Not everyone can have a Knops garden. But everyone deserves a piece of what we believe in.

Knops has nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram — people who love outdoor design, who follow every project, who are inspired by the spaces we create. Most of them will never commission a full garden design. That is not a failure. That is an audience. An audience that trusts our taste, values our vision, and is actively looking for ways to bring a piece of Knops into their own lives. A curated Eichholtz furniture set, signed by Knops, is exactly that: the entry point. The piece they can own. The beginning of a relationship that grows.

The by Knops signature

"
Eichholtz makes furniture we would specify in a full garden design without hesitation. That is the only standard we apply.
The concept

Eichholtz outdoor furniture. Curated and signed by Knops.

Not a licensing deal. Not a white-label product. A genuine co-curation: the Knops design eye selecting the Eichholtz pieces that reflect exactly how we think outdoor living should look and feel.

01

Curated Selection

Erik Knops handpicks a signature collection from the Eichholtz outdoor range — the pieces that reflect exactly how Knops sees outdoor living. Not a catalogue. A point of view.

02

By Knops Identity

Selected pieces carry the 'by Knops' signature — a mark of curation, taste and trust. For the Knops audience, it is the shortcut to knowing: this is exactly what Erik would choose.

03

Direct Access

The Knops community can discover and purchase the curated collection directly — no interior designer required, no minimum project size. Just beautifully chosen furniture, made accessible.

04

Project Integration

For full garden design clients, the curated Eichholtz collection seamlessly integrates into the project. The 'by Knops' selection is always the starting point for furniture specification.

What this means for Eichholtz

More than a distribution channel. A design endorsement.

Premium brand amplification

Direct exposure to 187,000 highly engaged outdoor design enthusiasts — an audience that already aspires to the world Eichholtz inhabits. Not advertising. Authentic curation by a trusted voice.

A new consumer access point

The Knops audience is consumer-facing — a direct-to-consumer channel that complements Eichholtz's existing B2B wholesale model without competing with it. New revenue, new relationships.

Design-first endorsement

A Knops curation is not commercial placement — it is a design verdict. When Erik Knops selects a piece, his audience takes note. It is the kind of endorsement that no advertising budget can purchase.

Project-level integration

Curated Eichholtz pieces enter the specification process of every Knops garden design project — exposure at the level where luxury purchasing decisions are actually made.

The road ahead

A partnership built in clear, logical phases.

We do not ask Eichholtz to restructure their business. We propose a clear progression — each phase proving the concept before the next begins. Simple to start. Powerful in full.

01
Phase 1

Curation. Edit. Name.

Start here

Erik Knops visits the Eichholtz collection and selects the first 'by Knops' signature edit — a curated set of outdoor furniture pieces that represent exactly how Knops sees outdoor living. These pieces are presented on the Knops platform as the first chapter of a new story.

Phase 3

Integration. Projects. Showroom.

The by Knops collection becomes the default specification starting point for every new Knops garden design project. Showcase pieces are installed in Knops project photography and, where possible, in a Knops showroom setting — giving the collection living proof.

Phase 4

Expansion. Seasonal drops. Legacy.

The by Knops edit grows and evolves — seasonal additions, limited drops, co-designed capsule pieces. As both brands develop, the partnership deepens. What began as a curated selection becomes a signature line — a genuine long-term collaboration between two Dutch icons of outdoor living.

Seasonal drops Co-design opportunities Long-term partnership
The next step

Let's start the conversation.

We believe this partnership has the potential to define what luxury outdoor furniture curation looks like. We would love to show you why — and what it could look like for both of our brands.
