Item Description
One of the largest available sets of Maarten Baas’ iconic “101” chairs on the market. A complete dining or conference collection, upholstered in premium Camira Main Line Flex wool. Maarten Baas needs no introduction. A rebel of Dutch design, his work blurs the line between art, function, and narrative. The “101” chair—named after the carbon copy of his initial sketch—captures his signature “sketch-like” aesthetic: bold, graphic black lines seemingly drawn in space. This lot offers an unparalleled opportunity: eleven (11) matching chairs in random shapes, a configuration rarely seen outside of major institutions or luxury hospitality projects. Whether outfitting a 4-meter gallery dining table, a boardroom, or a boutique cinema, this set provides the scale and gravitas required for serious interiors. “The line of the drawing becomes the line of the furniture.” – Maarten Baas. These 11 chairs do not simply furnish a room; they illustrate it. In Camira wool, they lose the austerity of raw wood and gain a tactile, warm, modernism that works equally well with Carlo Scarpa stone and Eero Saarinen tables. Excellent vintage condition. Black lacquered steel frames are sturdy with light, age-appropriate patina (no rust, no wobble). The Camira upholstery is in very good condition with no damage or stains. · Provenance & Icon Status: Works by Maarten Baas are held in the MoMA and Rijksmuseum collections. · Instant Collection: No sourcing 11 singles. No mismatched fading. One coherent, powerful statement.
