Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini, the graphic wall light by Muller Van Severen
The Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini by Muller Van Severen for valerie_objects condenses one of the famous Belgian duo’s seminal designs into a more compact format. Long before their now-iconic furniture, Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen began their collaboration with these light fixtures, which were born out of a very practical need. In their former home, there was no electrical outlet available on the ceiling above the table. So they devised a lamp that could extend from the wall and direct light to the desired location. The first prototypes were unveiled at their first solo exhibition in 2011.
Measuring 63.5 cm high and 49 cm wide, this Mini version reimagines that ingenious idea on a scale particularly well-suited for bedrooms or smaller spaces. It plugs directly into a wall outlet via its 200 cm Cable and therefore does not require a ceiling outlet.
A design that comes to life on the wall
The Hanging Lamps resemble large lines drawn in space. Their steel structure traces a continuous line that extends away from the wall, curves, and then supports the light source. This apparent simplicity perfectly captures the world of Muller Van Severen, where geometry, color, and function come together without ever weighing down the form.
Le Duo, with backgrounds in the visual arts, conceives of their creations as sculptural forms. Fien Muller worked as a sculptor and Hannes Van Severen as a photographer before combining their practices to focus on furniture design. This artistic background explains the graphic power of the Hanging Lamp, which straddles the line between functional lighting and three-dimensional composition.
A lampshade inspired by a vintage find
At the end of this colorful line is a white glass lampshade with a deliberately simple design. Its origin is an integral part of the lamp’s story. Muller Van Severen discovered the original model at a flea market and appreciated its perfectly neutral character. Le Duo then found a manufacturer capable of reproducing it to complement the collection.
This understated design allows the structure to retain its full presence. Depending on the version chosen—Black, Brass, Green, Ivory, or Red—these colors interact with the white glass and brass details to create an instantly recognizable graphic composition.
Where should you place the Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini?
Its compact size makes it particularly well-suited for placement near a bed, where it can replace a bedside lamp while freeing up space on the bedside table. It also works well next to an armchair, above a small console table, or anywhere targeted lighting is needed. valerie_objects specifically highlights this Mini version as ideal for spaces where focused light is desired.
Can it replace a pendant?
Yes, the Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini allows you to direct light away from the wall, thus embodying the principle that gave rise to the collection. Since it plugs directly into an outlet, there’s no need for a ceiling-mounted electrical outlet. This makes it a particularly practical solution when a traditional pendant light cannot be installed in the desired location.
What type of bulb does the Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini use?
The lamp uses a 4 W E27 bulb, which is included with the fixture. The bulb is replaceable. It is placed under a 29 cm diameter lampshade, which directs and structures the light while contributing to the piece’s distinctive silhouette.
The Hanging Lamp No. 2 Mini thus tells the story of Muller Van Severen’s very beginnings. Born out of a domestic necessity, it transforms a functional solution into a graphic gesture of remarkable simplicity: a line drawn on the wall, extended into space, and culminating in light.
