Muller Van Severen, founded in 2011, is a collaboration of two Belgian designers, Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, balancing somewhere between art and design. The two are known for their sculptural and interesting designs that convey their love for carefully selected high-quality materials – which often are the starting point for the duo’s designs.
Although careful research is essential for Muller Van Severen, the duo’s designs are often so minimalistic and simple, naive even, that one could easily think they were sketched up completely intuitively.
Muller Van Severen – colours and sculptural forms
Muller Van Severen is a Belgian design duo made up of artist Fien Muller and architect Hannes Van Severen. Founded in 2011, the studio rose quickly to international prominence with products in which sculpture and everyday object merge into one. Their work moves along the boundary between art and functional design.
An aesthetic of opposites
In their products, Muller Van Severen favour durable, timeless materials such as steel, marble, leather and solid wood. The materials are left as pure as possible, allowing their natural beauty and structure to come through.
The duo’s design language often brings together opposites: introvert and extrovert, light and heavy, feminine and masculine. The balance of these tensions makes their work both recognisable and subtle.
Collaborations and recognition
Muller Van Severen’s own collections are made by hand in small workshops and in collaboration with local artisans. The duo has also designed products for well-known European brands, such as the Danish HAY and the Belgian valerie_objects.
Muller Van Severen’s works belong to several public collections, including the Vitra Design Museum, the Centre Pompidou and Design Museum Gent. Numerous awards and exhibitions have established the duo as one of the most important names in contemporary European design.

A beautiful, still unique table mill among “designer” mills. Great addition to kitchen! Minor improvement point - bottom part inside the mill is profiled in such way that there always will be a layer of salt/pepper that the mill is not able to grasp. Definitely does not make the product any less worth purchasing, but maybe a potential for future enhancements to make it even better.
