'Where There's Smoke...' is a continuing narrative told through one-of-a-kind pieces created by Dutch designer Maarten Baas for Moss. In the series historic, iconic examples representing what are considered the most innovative 20th century aesthetic movements (and which have been the strongest personal influences in the studies of this young graduate from the Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands), including the Jugendstil, Mid-twentieth century, and Contemporary periods, are systematically burned and then stabilized, first with an epoxy resin, and then with a special lacquer.
