established & sons launched 'standard unique' chair by maarten baas during the milan
design week 09. 'standard unique' derives from the concept of creating variations within
a mass produced context. using an archetypal dutch kitchen chair, bass has created 5 patterns
for the hand sculpted chairs, with each chair being made up of 16 components. all the patterns
share common joining points so these component parts replicating cnc technology, can be
interchangeable. therefore, from the original patterns you can make hundreds of thousands
of variations. the result is a hand produced design using mass production.
