Belgian duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen describe their furniture collection as “landscapes for living in”. Their latest work is a quest for intersections, fusing a table, a staircase, a lamp, a seat, a chaise longue and shelves in one functional composition.
In 2011 visual artists Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen decided to cross the lines of their individual disciplines -photography and sculpture- and embark on a mutual ‘furniture project’. Together they developed a series of unique design pieces, minimal in form and detailing but maximal in its usability and use of materials.
They say: “Whereas design mostly finds its origin in plasticity and form, we consider material to be the source from which a piece of furniture grows. We have made a selection of different coloured marble stones that we combine withe metal profiles and coloured polyethylene cutting boards. The colours-but also the patters in the marble stone- give the furniture movement, some kind of gracefulness. This makes every piece of furniture unique.”
