This piece is produced to order by the maker. Production usually takes about 4 weeks, after which we despatch it from London.
Because it is built for you, cancellation is limited once production has started on a configuration you specified. Please check the timing before you order — and ask us if the date matters.
The standing lamp is the hanging lamp brought down to the floor. Same concept — a simple, colourful drawing made real in a room — with two small lines added at the bottom to become legs.
The marble version keeps the metal arm and swaps the base for a block of stone. The construction stays completely visible, as if a child had drawn it, and the weight moves to the floor where it is needed.
The duo have called it their most romantic design. It is hard to argue with: sober, stylised, and unmistakably the light under a street lantern.
Left, the standing lamp beside a rocking chair — the hanging lamp brought down to the floor. Right, the marble foot that holds it there.
Muller Van Severen was founded in 2011 by Belgian artist duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen. The couple have always been on an inspired quest for sculpturally interesting furniture objects, and their work sits somewhere between design and art, drawing on their passion for architecture and materials. They have won countless awards and collaborated with prestigious international museums and galleries.
A shared love of colour and materials is often the inspiration behind many of Muller Van Severen’s designs. The designer duo is constantly seeking new ways to present the natural beauty of the materials they use, striving to give the materials their own distinct presence.
A Belgian design label, valerie_objects asks designers like Muller Van Severen to give daily objects their beauty back.
Axel Van Den Bossche, who founded Serax, and Veerle Wenes of the design gallery Valerie Traan started valerie_objects in Belgium. The designers Muller Van Severen were the first to sign with the label.
Maarten Baas, Studio Wieki Somers and big-game have followed, each chosen for a signature you can recognise whether they make a table or a teapot. Everything is drawn for daily use.
