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.

Mutation Sofa By Maarten de Ceulaer

This Mutation series of Chairs and sofas by Maarten de Ceulaer is not only interesting because of the design by this young Belgian designer, but also because he uses a Google site, which is new to me.

About Maarten de Ceulaer

After obtaining a degree in Interior Design at the Sint-Lukas Hogeschool Brussels, Maarten De Ceulaer decided to focus more on objects. His predilection for strong concepts led him to the Design Academy Eindhoven, where he graduated in 2008 with the projects ‘Pile Of Suitcases’ and ‘Nomad Light Molecule’. During his studies he won the Dynamo Young Belgian Designer Award 2007, and just a few months after his graduation he started collaborating with the renowned Italian gallery Nilufar. His works have been featured in many major design magazines and newspapers worldwide, and have been exhibited at Nilufar and Rossana Orlandi in Milan, Galerie BSL in Paris, Art & Rapy in Monaco, Mint in London, Victor Hunt in Brussels, and various exhibitions and fairs internationally, like Design Miami/Basel.
