Large Hardcover Design Monograph – Lecturis – First Edition

An extensive monograph dedicated to the work of renowned Dutch designer Maarten Baas (born 1978). Published by Lecturis in 2017, Hide & Seek accompanied the major retrospective exhibition of his work at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.

The book explores Baas’s distinctive approach to contemporary design, where furniture, art, performance and conceptual thinking come together. He is internationally recognised for his celebrated Smoke series, featuring furniture with a charred appearance, his colourful Clay collection and his innovative Real Time clock installations.

Recurring themes throughout his work include time, melancholy, imperfection and transience. The publication also explores his collaborations with artists, photographers, architects and other creative professionals, offering an extensive overview of his multidisciplinary practice.

Contributions and photography by, among others, Anton Corbijn, Erwin Olaf, Lidewij Edelkoort, Marcus Fairs and Ingmar Heytze enrich this richly illustrated volume.

An appealing reference work for collectors of contemporary Dutch design, furniture design, conceptual art, design photography and influential 21st-century designers.
