Twins Nikolai and Simon Haas (b.1984) create irreverent sculptures that explore themes related to nature, fantasy, and sexuality. Their biomorphic works defy categorisation, most often occupying the interstitial space between fine art and functional objects. Originally from Austin, Texas, the brothers began collaborating in 2010 each bringing their respective passions and distinct specialities together to create works that are “bigger than what each would have made on his own”. Their works incorporate materials such as marble, bronze, ceramics, beads, porcelain, wood, brass and more. The brothers first came to prominence with their functional design in furniture and home décor and have since expanded their practice into the realm of architecture, fine art, and the digital space.

The Haas Brothers have had numerous solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad, including Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, CA (2023), Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, NY (2019); the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, FL (2018); Lora Reynolds Gallery, Austin, TX (2023, 2017, 2016); Gallery All, Shanghai, China (2022) Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago, IL (2017); and Galerie Gmurzynska, Zurich, Switzerland (2013). Their work was included in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, NY and at the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, CA. Their work may be found in the permanent collections of the RISD Museum, Providence, RI, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, NY, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, and LACMA, Los Angeles, CA.
