notes:
Maarten Baas's work in clay address the issue of form-giving in industrial design, revealing, literally, the designer's 'hand' in this intimate process, today normally concealed through the use of a computer (but there, none-the-less). Baas's use of the clay-modeling technique, traditionally employed in rendering the human form from life-study, magnifies the sculptural quality inherent in all functional objects.

Please note that due to the nature of the 'Clay Furniture' collection, all dimensions are approximate and extreme variations in size and shape are common.
