Maarten Baas CLAY CHAIR

These vibrant chairs are from Maarten Baas’s iconic ‘Clay’ collection launched in 2006. The idiosyncratic childishness of this collection is created through Baas’s individual hand modelling of industrial clay around metal skeletons. The vibrant colours, texture and irregularity of form unique to each piece give the chairs a naïve and spontaneous finish. Maarten Baas is a Dutch designer, who graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2002. He is considered one of the most influential artist designers of the early twenty-first century. His works straddle boundaries between art and design. Pieces from the Clay collection are present in museum collections such as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Les Arts Decoratifs in Paris.
