Clay Furniture: coffee table (black) designer: Maarten Baas design year: 2006 manufacturer: Maarten Baas, Netherlands materials: industrial clay, hand-modeled on top on Baas-designed metal 'skeletons'; surface painted with colored lacquer 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. each piece bears the stamp "BAAS" and is signed and dated by the artist dimensions: 63" x 28", height: 16" price: $9,750.00
