The Moooi Smoke Collection was born from experimentation. Maarten Baas created the collection as a graduation project, inspired by the ever-changing beauty found in nature. To capture the character of burned wood, the frames of the chairs are set on fire, left to burn, smoulder, and char. Once burned, Baas ensures that the wood is not brushed clean to preserve the unique burned structures. The wood is treated with a thick layer of epoxy resin to maintain structural integrity. When the resin is cured, the chair’s seats are covered with firm-retardant foam before being covered with deep black leather.
The Smoke Collection includes a Dining Chair, Dining Armchair, and Armchair. Each piece suits classic, maximalist interiors, perfect for adding a gothic touch to dining rooms, lounge areas, or entrance halls. In commercial spaces, the collection adds a lasting impression in hospitality settings, including bars, restaurants, and hotels. Due to the burning process, each piece features unique charred detailing, ensuring you have a truly one-of-a-kind design.
