Known as Muller Van Severen, the Flemish design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen work at the intersection of art and design. They are among the most prominent creators of the moment. From galleries to museums, not to mention collectors, design enthusiasts and design houses, everyone loves their minimalist, colourful furniture, timeless and joyful. In less than a decade, Muller Van Severen has become a key player in design, to the point of winning numerous awards and increasing collaborations with prestigious museums (Pompidou Centre, Vitra museum, etc.). It was in 2012 that the creative duo initiated this collection of seats. That year, they were chosen to mount an exhibition at the Kortrijk Interieur Biennale. As the space where the event was held had no seats, the designers decided to remedy this by creating a collection of seats with a simple basic concept: stretch a piece of cloth between two steel bars. This incredible Solo Seat, inspired by the lounge chair, lets you relax gently. This armchair is characterised by its graphic design: this piece of furniture that plays with transparency is imbued with great visual lightness. It doesn’t interrupt the space or impose its presence, and fits into any decor without ever covering up the background. A clever blend of sobriety and originality, it offers the maximum effect with a minimum of substance. The Solo Seat is made up of an extremely thin and airy cubic steel structure, on which a supple, fluid leather canvas is suspended, which seems to float. The Solo Seat is available in attractive colour combinations. A true invitation to lounge around, the flexibility of the suspended leather canvas makes plenty of room for comfort. You feel like you’re in a hammock! This armchair is ideal for setting up a relaxation area in a living room, office, reading room... 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 linked to function. We come from the visual arts. So we’re just trying to create sculptural furniture to occupy space. Art or design, creation takes place the same way … and provides the same satisfaction. Poetry is possible even in the industrial”, concludes Fien.
