Muller Van Severen operates at the intersection of art and design, creating pieces that transcend traditional categories.

Inspired by art, architecture, and materials, Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
Muller Van Severen's creations are distinguished by their versatility, vibrant colors, and sculptural aesthetic. The designers use a range of carefully selected materials, such as leather, brass, polyethylene, steel, marble, and enamel, to bring their ideas to life. The result is furniture that is both eye-catching and inviting. Despite the complexity of their creative process, Muller Van Severen's pieces often appear simple and spontaneous, as if they were sketching in space with chalk.
The 1950s building of the CAB Foundation, completely renovated by the French architect and interior designer Charles Zana, provides the ideal setting to showcase the work of the two artists. Their pieces blend harmoniously into the architectural environment, creating an extraordinary immersive experience.
Between furniture, installation and artwork, Muller Van Severen's versatile and sculptural creations captivate and inspire, demonstrating a unique sensitivity to aesthetics and innovation.
