"Muller van Severen" is another great design export from Belgium.
The design of Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, who are also both practicing as visual artists, is something in between art and furniture. They call it a 'furniture project'.The duo met in Gent, where Fien was studying photography and Hannes plastics. No wonder their collections can be seen as pieces of art and remind of sculptural objects.
The furniture is made of a thin wire structure, that frames the sculpture and has a transparent character. Like 'drawings in a space' thats how the designer like to call it. The minimalistic use of material and construction leads to clear forms and an own timeless aesthetic.
We are pretty sure that we will hear a lot more about their great designs in the future!
If you are also in love with their work, try to step by the new exhibition of their design at Gallery Valerie_Traan in Antwerp till 25 of October!
