By
Evan Pricco
Summary
A brief profile of the Haas Brothers (Nikolai and Simon), artists and designers known for creating fantastical, functional furniture and objects that blur the line between art and design. Their work, described as a "Jim Henson on more acid" universe, has been shown with R & Company for years, and their latest collection "Uncanny Valley" continues their tradition of making functional fantasy pieces for everyday living.
