Ruben de Haas (1988) is an artist and designer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He loves color, nature and likes investigating different materials and techniques whilst staying playful and intuitive.

Recently Ruben has collaborated with MOOOI on a series of carpets called the Mixing Pixels. He makes his own paint with eggs and pigment, tests How Much Ink Does A Marker Contain? and is currently super into making Wild Teapots.

For ten years Ruben lived and worked around the globe. In Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Cambodia, Mexico, Spain and The Netherlands. He joined creative studios, filmed the world-tour of a rock band, tested one hundred markers, made paint using eggs and historic pigments, opened a gallery in Mexico, worked in advertising, published a book and lived back to basics for a year in a place called Wilderland where he fell in love with nature.
