On show during the Dutch Design Week, “Maarten Baas makes time” features many works by the designer himself – recently distinguished in the US with the prestigious Art Prize for his Sweepers Clock (also on show as part of the exhibition) – accompanied by work and pieces by a lively collection of artists, designers, photographers, performers and top chef, Sergio Herman.

Maarten Baas says: “The idea behind MBMT is to show how design can represent a unifying factor between the different creative disciplines. So it’s really cool and such an honour that it’s become a true collaboration between so many diverse talents.”
 Tables at the restaurant were fully booked in no time. However, visitors to Dutch Design week need not despair: there will be a soup hut, also designed by MAARTEN BAAS, located in the square in front of the VDMA building, where the visiting public can enjoy a cup of soup made by none less than Sergio Herman.

The exhibitions consists of a collection of Baas’ key works, the world premiere of Baas’ newest collection, a collaborative section of pieces by other creative talents centred around the theme of time, and a temporary restaurant, conveniently situated in a tent at the centre of the exhibition. Baas is setting the table with his own china and silverware and the menu contains a selection of signature dishes by Sergio Herman.
