SHELF N°1

SHELF N°1 by MULLER VAN SEVEREN for VALERIE OBJECTS

MULLER VAN SEVEREN items are spontaneous and produced with apparent effortlessness. The universe that the designers create together dovetails very naturally with their work as separate artists. The crucial difference lies in their functionality.
Their artistic vision influences their view of how objects can be placed and used within a space. Their furniture sculptures can be used by different people together, separately or all at the same time. They also usually offer additional functional possibilities, such as combining seating, storage, working and lighting into the same object. But for the artists, the starting point and finishing touch at all times is the question: would we want to live with it ourselves?

New designlabel valerie_objects is an initiative of Axel Van Den Bossche, Frank Lambert and art director Veerle Wenes. The combination of both their own professional and personal taste for the good and the beautiful and their volition to communicate pieces from designers and artists to appropriate audiences, resulted in the new-born designlabel valerie_objects.
The Antwerp based label shapes its collection by working with designers, architects and artists. The aim is to translate the signature works of these creative minds into tangible objects. Pride of place will always go to authentic thinkers, to pieces that have been carefully thought about, designed and fashioned by intelligent hands. Valerie_objects is actively looking for those objects that already exist, but which have not yet seen the light of day.
