Surrounded by all kinds of objects, Baas created an assemblage, in which all objects gained a new function. A chair became a bookshelf; a lampshade became a vase, a violin a coat rack. For this design, Baas collaborates with several second hand stores in the region of Eindhoven, saving products from the rubbish container which could not be sold in the shop. Since the products are always different, every “Hey, chair be a bookshelf!” is a unique piece.

A work from "Hey, chair, be a bookshelf!" bookshelf is in the permanent collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It has been exhibited at the Denver Art Museum, Kingston University, London, and the High Museum in Atlanta.
