Maarten Michael Baas was born in 1978 in Arnsberg in Germany and moved to the Netherlands the very next year. He attended school in the Netherlands and also spent most of his life in the Netherlands. He got educated from the Hendrik Pierson College, Zetten and Design Academy, Eindhoven. He also spent several months learning design and art at Politecnico in Milan.  

He was keen in designing even during his college days. He designed the renowned Knuckle candle holder while he was doing his graduation and this was his first commercial success product. Maarten had two designs, Sundial and charred furniture Smoke series, with him when he had graduated in 2002. The smoke collection series also became very famous and is made by setting fire to old furniture and then applying an epoxy resin coating to the chair to preserve the charred remains of the tables and chairs. This became a huge phenomenon in the design world and it is even in demand these days. He usually produces his furniture pieces in series and each of them are hand made. He is an avid experimenter and loves to go to any extent to create some of the best pieces of furniture. He also completed the IKEA workshop in France in 2002 and also got an opportunity to showcase his masterpieces in a Design Academy in Tokyo.  

He got the opportunity to exhibit the Smoke chandelier in "Brilliant" at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London in 2004. He also introduced his 2004 Smoke series at his first debut solo exhibition at Moss in New York which was called “Where There’s Smoke”. It was in the year 2005 that he joined hands with Bas den Herder and all his works are now being made under the ‘Bas & den Herder’ studio. Most of the products of his earlier collections are also produced at this new design studio.
