The first major monograph dedicated to the Haas Brothers, Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley explores the bold, irreverent, and resolutely whimsical universe of Niki and Simon Haas. At the crossroads of art, design, craftsmanship, and technology, the duo has developed a unique practice that is both conceptual and formally assertive, intellectual and deeply playful.

Published on the occasion of their first major mid-career traveling retrospective presented at the Cranbrook Art Museum in 2025, the book brings together over 100 iconic works: provocative sculptural furniture, hybrid pieces, and life-size sculptures with unapologetic humor.

Rich texts, punctuated by personal stories from the artists and an interview conducted by avant-garde creators Lita Albuquerque and Isabelle Albuquerque, accompany vibrant iconography. With its bright pink padded cover, this object-book reflects the iconoclastic spirit of the Haas Brothers and confirms their place among the most inventive figures in contemporary art and design.
