Wind by Maarten Baas

Maarten Baas, Dutch designer created a unique series of Clay fans.

A series of monumental electric fans, hand-sculpted in chrome-glazed industrial clay, are applied over a metal skeleton.

Each fan is hand-made by Baas; each size is produced in a signed and numbered limited edition of 8 pieces, exclusive to Moss.
Maarten Baas’s work in clay address the ssue of form-giving in industrial design, revealing, literally, the designer’s ‘hand’ in this intimate process, today normally oncealed through the use of a computer (but there, none-the-less). Baas’s use of the clay-odeling technique, traditionally employed in endering the human form from life-study, agniies the sculptural quality inherent in all functional objects.
