The Haas Brothers (artists)

The Haas Brothers are American artists Nikolai and Simon Haas, known for their playful and imaginative sculptures, furniture, and design objects that often blend art and design. Born in Austin, Texas, they initially pursued separate creative paths before collaborating in 2007 to form The Haas Brothers.

They frequently incorporate anthropomorphic elements, giving their creations a whimsical and sometimes surreal quality. Their aesthetic is often described as maximalist, combining luxurious materials with playful and unexpected designs.

The Haas Brothers have exhibited their work internationally in galleries and museums. Their practice also extends to collaborations with fashion brands and other artists. Their distinct and recognizable style has made them influential figures in contemporary art and design. They are represented by several galleries globally.
