valerie objects Chair Yellow/Red 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’.”
