His designs spring forth from instinctive inspirations aimed at upsetting the parameters of classic design by turning them upside down. Maarten Baas is a cultured and refined thirty-one-year old designer who stands out for his smart and unpredictable approach. He is now one of the hottest names on the contemporary design scene and during the 2009 Italian Furniture Salon has a role as the director of “Real Time”. Ennio Capasa has invited Baas to the Milan C’N’C show room in via Fogazzaro where the artist-designer will showcase 3 new films on the passage of time. What for? To re-design a collection of three different timepieces to match time-marking models created by Baas himself. Take some time off and come and see them if you’re in Milan.
