Clay Furniture by Maarten Baas
What is clay furniture – you say – something for a dollhouse?
Well, that depends on your dimensions.
If you live in a world of dreams,
with a spontaneous love of life,
then yes, it's for your dollhouse.
Where you play pretend
and all is well,
and no one bothers you
to tell
nitty gritty stuff
that irks.
In your home
that you designed,
where life breathes from the walls,
CLAY furniture by Maarten Baas
translates your inner calls.

Maarten Baas, of The Netherlands, has made a statement in the world of art with his unusual and compelling designs for the home. Relying on his intuition, Baas is not content with cookie-cutter, computerized designs. This is clearly evident in his CLAY furniture, where each piece is modeled by hand. Synthetic clay is stretched over a metal frame and surface painted with colored lacquer. Colors in this set include black, brown, blue, red, yellow, orange, green and white.
Baas' works, including the famous Smoke and Hey, Chair…, have taken center stage at exhibitions and museums around the world and are highly sought after. His youthful, personal and present approach keeps him in touch with what "feels right" for his vision and nothing less will do. Maarten Baas is an inspiration for artists and craftsmen worldwide. And he makes great furniture!

Reclaimed Wood Stools by Chista
|
|
These stools stand the chance of lasting forever.
Chista makes sure of that. |
|
Chista, founded in 1990, is the brainchild of Alon Langotsky. His commitment to the environment and appreciation of the qualities of fine wood have produced one-of-a-kind masterpieces that inspire and delight. Chista's unique styles are showcased in various design magazines and in their very own showrooms nationally. Tables, benches, stools, consoles and chairs are carved with care and love from wood, mostly teak, that could have ended up in the garbage heap.
Before carving a new piece, Langotsky studies the qualities and features of the wood so the new sculpture adheres to its inherent personality. A metal base, such as stainless steel or bronze, and paint is usually applied to the finished product. Each Chista item receives extraordinary care, resulting in furniture and installations that wow the eye and arouse the spirit.

Serpentine Sofa by Vladimir Kagan
Kagan, of the Hall of Fame
Modernity bespeaks his name
Seat your friends on curves and rounds
Flowing shapes for your surround
Welcome to the global trend
of Serpentine's ingenious bend
©Michelle Sieger
Vladimir Kagan is one of today's most enduring designers of modern furniture with a career that has spanned almost sixty years. His innovative sculptured designs created a new look in modern American furniture since the 1950's. Today, Kagan's creations are sought after by high-profile and fashion-conscious home and business owners. His prize-winning designs have been published in books and magazines internationally, are featured in museums and have a host of collectors.
The Serpentine sofa, introduced in 1950, set the trend for a new approach to home furnishings. Designed to create a more sociable atmosphere in a room, it takes seating away from the wall and spreads it out in a free-form design. One of Kagan's most important pieces of furniture, the Serpentine is ideal for open spaces. Other Vladimir Kagan sofas, including pictured Crescent, Shorty, and Cocoon 2, were inspired by the classic Serpentine and are adaptable to a variety of spaces and environments.

DON'T TURN
YOUR BACK
ON THE ENVIRONMENT
At Crate and Barrel green is not a trend. It's a mission.
