Plain Clay Stool by Maarten Baas

In Milan the Salone 2012 starts today. I had plans to visit the Salone, but have postponed them until next year. Just too busy with other stuff.

Maarten Baas will show these new pieces of his Plain Clay furniture collection in Ventura Lambrata. Photo’s Frank Tieleman.

The series is now named Plain Clay as the production process has changed after Maarten has made several pieces for the Groninger Museum (The museum for modern art in the city of Groningen, The Netherlands). They are now better withstanding public (ab)use.

Japan based, Italian architect/designer Elena Galli Giallini was so kind to submit her Ginza Chair to be featured here. With Pleasure! She designed it for the Yagi Collection.

The aim was to design a comfortable no frills reading chair that was nonetheless sleek looking. The armchair is named after the famous GINZA ward in Tokyo, where Japanese traditional craft shops and contemporary global brands are integrated in a unique way, displaying an unmatched capability to fuse together tradition and present day life and style.

The armchair is proposed in natural leather with bold colors (white, bordeaux, black) paired with different colors and finishing of the steel structure (bright chrome, matt
chrome, black matt epoxy varnish).

Finally the word is out: Production of the More or Less Chair by Maarten Baas has been started by NGispeN. The special effect is that there is almost no chair the same in the series as there are a number of different backs and seatings you will notice if you look at the 4 photos (by Chris van Koeverden) closely.
