BHSD

- BY MAARTEN BAAS

Dutch furniture designer Maarten Baas found inspiratio­n in ancient fossils found in the Netherland­s of small creatures with sharp teeth. The Baas designs—BHSD-001, BHSD002 and BHSD-003—are flat-looking monsters with small eyes, short feet and spiky teeth, and their textured glass recalls the surface of fossils. “I thought they looked very monstrous, and nobody knows how they could have survived because they have sharp teeth but not a big enough stomach to digest their prey,” says Baas. “I felt I was more like an intermedia­ry between the scientist and Lasvit.”
