Maarten Baas at Milan Design Week
Maarten Baas is featured in the Milan Design Week with his latest exhibition titled MORE OR LESS. The exhibition is set in the 16th-century Church of San Paolo Converso, providing an impressive and awe-inspiring backdrop for the event. Partnering with the fashion brand G-Star RAW, Baas created a full-size airplane from recycled denim. He aims to explore the complex relationship between green design and mass consumerism, a topic that is particularly sensitive in the context of Milan Design Week and an industry that encourages consumption.
