"I want to make items that produce smiles and nice feelings."
Color who?
Ruben de Haas (1988) is an artist and designer from Amsterdam. He loves color, nature and playing with different materials.
Together with Moooi, he collaborated on a collection of Mixing Pixel Carpets. He makes his own paint using pigments and recently launched a lamp from real eggs.
International
Ten years Ruben lived and worked around the globe: Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Cambodia and Mexico.
After bartending, he joined a creative studio, filmed the world-tour of a famous rock band, lived off grid on bare feet and rediscovered his love for nature.
He freelanced as an illustrator & handmade typography, opened a small gallery in Mexico, taught design at college, worked in advertising, published a book and tested more than one hundred makers.
A dream to discover
His works are bought worldwide by collectors in New York, the United Kingdom, Korea, Hong Kong, Australia and Europe.
In 2022 he was on the long list for the Royal Dutch Art Prize and got invited for a Round Table conversation with Queen Maximá at the Milan Design Week in 2023.
His big goal is to exhibit at MoMa in New York City by 2030. If you want to help him get in touch.
