For the current work Lucas Maassen & Sons / Before and Be after, Lucas and his three sons, Thijme, Julian, and Maris were influenced by their most recent personal struggle through Maris’ successful open heart surgery fall 2017. The hole in his heart provided the framework for this work, which is an homage to its fortuitous patching, exploring the before and how to "be after" such a life event. The new collection includes furniture, ceramics, and objects around a central theme of 'holes and patching holes'.
