This philosophy is perhaps best encapsulated in his "Holes Project." In a series of works, from bracelets and chairs to tables and a cake, Bakker drilled holes of varying sizes in a seemingly random fashion. The project began with a simple yet profound question. As Bakker explained, “I discovered that it is not the hole, but what is behind the hole that is important”. The holes in his objects do not just remove material; they invite you to see the space behind it, the wall, the floor, or the body of the wearer, as an integral part of the design. In his famous "Chair with Holes," the perforations reduce the chair's weight by a third without affecting its strength, transforming a simple maple chair into a striking study in form and function. gia bawerk exclusive
