Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen are both artists but their collection sits somewhere between art and design: it is obviously ‘furniture’ but the emphasis is not completely concentrated on function and suggests different ways of living and the use of space – an uncanny twist on universal forms. Fien Muller’s photography is suggestive of someone who considers everything in her daily life to be up for participation in a theatre of her compositions where it is not so much the qualities of an individual object that are important, but what happens when that object is introduced to another. Her sense of colour is likewise extraordinary and features odd combinations with always a harmonious result. Hannes’ work is often the other way around: the familiar becomes absurd in a sense that it loses it’s function and turns irrational, such as a staircase laid on its side and going nowhere or a closet that was pushed through the circular saw and lost its balance. Since 2011, Muller van Severen’s collaborative work has been featured in numerous exhibitions in Europe and the USA and is widely published in magazines and online publications on art as well as on design.
