valerie objects - Pendant Lamp - Black - Steel - Designer Muller Van Severen; valerie objects Pendant Black Metal. Dimensions: H 95 x L 149.5 cm - Lampshade:Ø 25 cm - Cable: L 700 cm max.. 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. Their success began with this collection of lamps. The first prototypes were presented at Muller Van Severen's very first solo exhibition in 2011. With their linear design, Ceiling Lamp pendants resemble pencillines drawn in the air: like designs materialised in space. The curved steel tube traces a sober, colourful line in the decor. At the end of this line is a simple white glass lampshade that identically replicates a lampshade the designers initially unearthed in a flea market."It's a fantastic lampshade: perfectly neutral. Fortunately, we found a company capable of producing it", Hannes adds. 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. Belgian label Valérie Objects uses its uncompromising eye to find designers in line with its philosophy, namely: to create everyday objects likely to develop emotion and attachment, far from a stereotypical decoration that lacks depth. Veerle Wenes, gallery owner and co-founder of Valérie Objects:"Minimal objects require maximum work".
