A fascinating overview of the work of an extraordinary designer: Maria Hees is not an industrial designer, not a free artist, not a craftswoman in the tradition of her craft, not an ambitious businessperson. She is cqmmitted to the development of her own ideas about the nature of jewellery objects, and bags; she examines the applicability of materials, often applying materials in entirely novel ways. She does acknowledge any of the restrictions so often imposed on the manufacture of product: by tradition or other standards; on the contrary, she fights them in an attempt to create new solutions. She shapes her own freedom and, in doing so, the freedom of those who use her objects. She can do this by working on a small scale, making almost everything herself and doing only what she thinks is worthwhile. It is in her work that her true being manifests itself ...
