Carapace Armchair Steel

Carapace is a scientific term used to define a protective, decorative or camouflaged shell, found on the back of animals such as beetles and turtles. The notion of creating a ‘hard skin’ to protect a ‘soft body’ was the starting point for Baas’ furniture series of the same name.

Each piece is characterized by a patchwork of bronze plating, dot welded piece-by-piece, forming the skin or protective ‘shield’ of the furniture, similar to a turtle shell. Collectively, the pieces reflect the idea of protection in harmony with the beautiful; a hard metal exterior that consequently conveys the evolution of the very fine interior.
