Maarten Baas Unique Where there is smoke cabinet, iconic dutch design
About the Item
MAARTEN BAAS, EARLY SMOKE CABINET
Important and rare piece of Dutch design of one of the most influential design of our time.
Provenance. From a hairdressing salon in Amsterdam that Maarten Baas decorated in the early period of the Smoke series. (+- in 2002) Most of the interior was auctioned at Pierre Bergé auction house in Brussels (December 16, 2010). Only this piece of furniture was kept by the then owner himself. In 2014, this shelve was also exhibited at the exhibition “Feeling good” at Galerie Steendrukkerij in Amsterdam. After graduating he was asked to work on an interior for cult hairdresser Le Souk in Amsterdam. Baas created a series of unique cabinets and interior items from charred blackened wood, including this one. An iconic and early piece, bringing to mind other iconic modernist pieces like the Nuage Bookshelf (1960s) from Charlotte Perriand.
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.
