valerie objects Chair Red/Green/Purple Metal. Dimensions: L 38 x Depth
52.5 cm x H 80 cm. "Coming straight from a watercolour palette, Alu chairs
sport a blend of joyous intensity, remarkable restraint, poetry and geometry.
Known as Muller Van Severen, the Flemish design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van
Severen work at the intersection of art and design. They are among the most
prominent creators of the moment. From galleries to museums, not to mention
collectors, design enthusiasts and design houses, everyone loves their
minimalist, colourful furniture, timeless and joyful. In less than a decade,
Muller Van Severen has become a key player in design, to the point of winning
numerous awards and increasing collaborations with prestigious museums (Pompidou
Centre, Vitra museum, etc.). Suitable for indoor and outdoor use and
ultra-light, this aluminium chair was originally designed to furnish the Bahrain
pavilion by architect Anne Holtrop at the Universal Exhibition 2015 in Milan.
Like all furniture by Muller Van Severen, the Alu chair combines rigorous,
strict lines with bright, daring colour combinations. The natural aluminium
structure is combined with coloured aluminium seats and backrests with an
ultra-shiny finish, available in a very rich chromatic palette. The creative duo
Muller Van Severen see colour as a material. Fien Muller explains: “The choice
of colours was difficult. For the first version, we used polyethylene, a
material produced in a limited number of colours. This new version is painted
with a powder coating, which means we could choose from an endless number of
colours. " In the end, Muller Van Severen chose sixteen colour combinations.
Hannes explains: “This multiplicity of colours gives a fun aspect to the Alu
chair. You can actually create a landscape of colours. The colours of the chair
really determine the atmosphere of the space. You can create a very playful or
rather serious environment.” Like a painter composing a canvas, have fun
matching and combining colours. Available in sixteen different combinations of
bright or pastel colours, the Alu chair offers a palette of shades to adapt to
any environment or setting. Exuberance or sobriety, you can choose to coordinate
or not the colours of the backrest and seat, mixing the shades to create your
own ‘landscape of colours’.”
