Although I don't know if Baas has anything to do with Sottsass, I know that when "the crowd was speaking" when Sottsass came up with his pieces, they also weren't to enthusiastic about it. In the few years Baas is working he has proven that he knows what he's doing. And, moreover: what does it matter? I just like this work. I agree with “dear all”.

Sottsass chose his colors, materials and forms for social and philosophical reasons. Baas, as far as I can tell simply does things because he thinks they look cool. Therefore his work deserves to be judged on its aesthetic qualities.....and the crowd has spoken.....this stuff is CRAZY UGLY! Dear DEAR ALL
