products Clay Furniture A playful demonstration of functional imperfection, Maarten Baas’ crude ‘Clay Furniture’ is hand-moulded with synthetic clay on a metal ‘skeleton’ reinforcing the structure from inside. All pieces are modelled by hand with absolutely no usage of moulds in production, making each piece unique. There are eight standard colours in the series: black, white, brown, red, yellow, blue, orange and green. Adding an element of uniqueness as well as a personal touch, each of these vibrantly-coloured pieces resembles an awkward scrawny giant proudly flaunting the finger impressions of its creators.

The PMC collection by Osisu is obtained from thermal-pressed cartons and packaging materials. A part of this collection, the Humpback is a bookshelf made from reclaimed foil packaging, which is an abundant community waste. This bent-over Humpback, with its shiny patina and water resistance resembles concrete in appearance.
