Maarten Baas is one of the most renowned European contemporary designers. He founded the base of what we call today Dutch contemporary design. There are few designers who embrace spontaneity and madness in the creative process as Baas does. In his younger years, he set priceless design classics on fire, later on he welded the most phantasmal closets of all time. After that, sketchy pencil lines on paper were brought to life. His work reveals the inner child that’s hidden somewhere deep inside all of us and the design community fiercely appreciates it.

was to make a fully
functional design
piece that looks like
it has been sketched
by hand._
