Studio Visit with the Haas Brothers

An afternoon studio visit with the Haas Brothers invites up to fifteen guests into the Los Angeles workspace where Nikolai and Simon Haas bring their singular creative world to life. This is a rare and intimate opportunity to witness firsthand the environment that has produced some of contemporary design's most visually audacious objects, furniture, and sculptural works. The twins' practice draws from an unusually wide constellation of influences, weaving together nature, science fiction, sexuality, psychedelia, and color theory into forms that feel simultaneously ancient and otherworldly. What distinguishes the Haas Brothers within the broader landscape of contemporary design is their command of materials as expressive tools rather than mere construction methods. Brass, bronze, porcelain, and fur coexist alongside highly technical resins and polyurethane in their hands, each chosen with a rigor that belies the playful, even hallucinatory, surfaces they produce. Their visual intelligence operates at the intersection of craft and concept, yielding work that rewards close looking and sustained engagement. Donated directly by the artists and scheduled at a mutually agreed upon date, this experience carries a value that no auction estimate can adequately capture. It is the kind of access that collectors and admirers of serious contemporary practice rarely encounter, offering not simply a behind-the-scenes tour but a genuine conversation with two of the most inventive minds working in design today. The proceeds benefit Free Arts NYC, amplifying the meaning of an already extraordinary offering.
