Alu dining table, small, ivory
Description
The Alu dining table by valerie objects was originally designed for the 2015 Milan World Fair. The colorful table charms with its hues but finding the right color combination for this series wasn't so easy for the design studio Muller Van Severen. That's why they decided to choose several different combinations, ranging from very playful colors to slightly more serious ones – but of course not too subdued. After all, it is Muller van Severen we are talking about! The colorful dining table combines beautifully with the chairs of the Alu range.
The Alu dining table is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The lightweight but extremely durable table has been treated with beeswax and a UV-protective lacquer that together ensure that the surface will stay bright and protected from sun, rain and wind.

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 – colors 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 esthetic of opposites
In their products, Muller Van Severen favor 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 recognizable 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 Center Pompidou and Design Museum Gent. Numerous awards and exhibitions have established the duo as one of the most important names in contemporary European design.
