Monumental electric fans, hand-sculpted in chrome-glazed industrial clay, applied over a metal skeleton.
Each fan is hand-made in Baas’s studio; 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 issue of form-giving in industrial design, revealing, literally, the designer's 'hand' in this intimate process, today normally concealed through the use of a computer (but there, none-the-less). Baas's use of the clay-modeling technique, traditionally employed in rendering the human form from life-study, magnifies the sculptural quality inherent in all functional objects.

The large fan in this limited edition of 8 is priced at $34,000 and it's approximate height is 75 inches.
I'm addicted to Maarten's Clay Furniture series.
