Chromed Clay Furniture Floor Fan (large) No. 2 in an edition of 8 designer: Maarten Baas design year: 2007 manufacturer: Maarten Baas, Netherlands materials: industrial clay, hand-modeled on top on Baas-designed metal 'skeletons' surface painted with chrome lacquer notes: Clay Furniture 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 Maarten Baas dimensions: 75" high price upon request
