Marble Macchia Vecchia

The work of Dutch artist Aldo Bakker centres around a deep exploration of form and colour. The inherent ambiguity of each piece is designed as a conscious challenge to traditional concepts of functionality that prevail in modern life. Bakker needs to spend much time with his work before considering it a finished piece. When they leave the studio – often after years of careful deliberation – the objects no longer bear witness to their maker, but exclusively to their own existence.

Artist Biography

Aldo Bakker, born in the Netherlands in 1971, is a designer whose objects challenge the way we perceive and interact with the material world. Known for his bowls, pitchers, stools, spoons, and tables, Bakker creates works that blur the boundary between utility and autonomy. His practice is defined by an exquisite command of form, colour, and material, combined with an almost unsettling insistence that objects are not passive commodities but independent presences with their own integrity and character.
