Dutch Profiles: Maarten Baas

In 2002, Maarten Baas graduated with Smoke at the famous Design Academy in Eindhoven. Smoke is a series in which design classics are scorched with a blow torch and then sealed with epoxy -- a project which gained him worldwide attention.

His studio is based in a farm in the South of Holland where he works with a small group of international craftsmen -- a talented and diverse community in which each member contributes something unique to the final product.

In 2009, Baas was named Designer of the Year at Design Miami. To Baas's great satisfaction, it was precisely this personal, small-scale and collaborative approach which the jury applauded.

In Milan in 2009, Baas presented his project Real Time: a series of videos depicting hyper-physical representations of time. The project questions our ambiguous relationship with time in our profoundly temporal world.
