Known as Muller Van Severen, Flemish design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen work at the intersection of art and design. They are among the hottest names in design at the moment. From galleries and museums to collectors, design enthusiasts and publishers, their minimalist, colorful furniture is timeless and joyful.
Their success began with this collection of lamps. Hannes explains: "It all started out of necessity. We were working in our new house, which is an old house. There was no socket in the ceiling above the table to plug in a light source, so we designed a lamp that could be hung on the wall.'' The first prototypes were shown at Muller Van Severen's very first solo exhibition in 2011.
With their linear design, the Hanging lamp Wall lights resemble coloured pencil strokes traced in the air: like drawings materialized in space.
The creative duo Muller Van Severen see color as a material. Like all their furniture, Hanging Lamp combines rigorous, strict lines with bold, vivid colors. These lamps draw a sober, colorful line through the décor. At the end of this line is a simple white Glass Lampshade, which identically reproduces a lampshade the designers had originally unearthed at a flea market. ''It's a fantastic Lampshade: perfectly neutral. Fortunately, we found a company capable of producing it", adds Hannes.
This large Wall light can be used as a pendant or wall light. It is fitted with a cable that plugs into the mains (switch on cable).
Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, ex-sculptor and ex-photographer respectively, infuse each of their pieces with a touch of poetry. Hannes explains: "Design is about function. We come from the visual arts. So we simply try to create sculptural furniture in space. Art or design, creation is done in the same way... and with the same satisfaction. Poetry is possible even in the industrial world", concludes Fien.
The Belgian label Valérie Objects uses its uncompromising eye to find designers in tune with its philosophy, which is to create everyday objects likely to develop emotion and attachment, far from a stereotyped decor that lacks depth. Veerle Wenes, gallerist and co-founder of Valerie Objects: ''Minimal objects require maximum work.
