Maarten Baas Where there is smoke chair, dutch design
About the Item
Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven with his “Smoke” series, Maarten Baas has pushed the boundaries of art, design and aesthetics. “Smoke” is an investigation into beauty and (im-)perfection. “In nature, everything is in flux, creating a certain beauty. Yet, it’s a very human tendency to keep things as they are supposed to be and keep them as they originally were. Smoke plays with both perceptions of beauty.” After the pieces are charcoaled, they are preserved in a clear epoxy resin, making them functional again. The first pieces were made in 2002 and the collection has expanded with commissions both for museums as well as private clients. In 2004, Moss gallery NY collaborated on the “Where There’s Smoke” series with a collection of design icons by Rietveld, Gaudi, Eames and Sottsass, burnt by Maarten Baas.
