Maarten Baas
Designer
Maarten Baas (born 19 February 1978) is a Dutch designer. From 1979, Baas grew up in Burgh-Haamstede and Hemmen located in the southwest and central region of the Netherlands. After graduating from high school, he began studying at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1996. Baas is considered to be one of the most influential Dutch designers of the beginning of the 21st century. He is often described as an “author designer,” of which his works lie on the boundaries between art and design. His work is known as rebellious, playful, intellectual, theatrical and artistic. He has gained an autonomous position in the design field, and his work varies from conceptual designs, limited editions, production design, installations, public space, architecture, interior design, theater design and performances.
Exhibited at DESIGN MIAMI. 2023 Maarten Baas’ Children’s Clocks consolidates the artist’s aptitude for childlike creativity. To create the clock face of these vibrant artworks, Baas asked 720 children to each contribute a drawing of the hands of a clock at a specific time. In total, 720 unique drawings edited together to indicate the time across 720 minutes (12 hours), maintaining each Children’s Clock as a functioning timepiece.
The housing of these latest additions to Baas’ Real Time series is made as a continuation of the artist’s iconic Clay collection, in a Limited Edition of 100 pieces, each in a unique color.
Materials: Handmade Stainless Steel Casing, Clay, Digital Equipments, Silk Gloss.
