Although most design lovers know Muller Van Severen for their furniture, the story of the Belgian design duo actually began with the creation of their Hanging Lamps. The idea was born out of necessity. As Hannes explains: “We were working in our new home, an old house, and there was no ceiling socket above the table to plug in a light source. So we designed a lamp that could hang from the wall.”
The first prototypes were shown during Muller Van Severen’s debut solo exhibition in 2011. For that exhibition, Fien and Hannes filled the Valerie Traan Gallery of Veerle Wenes with designs that looked as if someone had taken a box of crayons and started drawing in the air. This is precisely how the Hanging Lamps should be interpreted: seemingly naive drawings materialized into real life.
Like all of Muller Van Severen’s creations, the Hanging Lamps combine simplicity with color and lightness. They trace a clean, colorful line through the room, ending with a single lightbulb and a lampshade the couple originally found at a flea market – a perfectly neutral detail that completes this timeless design.
