valerie objects Round table Grey/Metal Metal. Dimensions: Ø 65.5 x H
74 cm. The round S table by Muller Van Severen is a sober, basic piece of
furniture that excels in its details and finishes. There’s no visible trace
of welding. Made of aluminium, it’s suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Unlike the minimalist form, the solid aluminium top is lacquered with a hammered
coating. Designer Fien Muller explains: “It’s an old technique, used mainly
for industrial tools and machines, which covers imperfections. We often try to
use traditional techniques in a new design. "The light relief of the hammered
paint coating recalls the finish of a hammered metal surface. It forms rounded
designs thanks to a very specific orientation of the lamellar aluminium pigments
after complete drying. The final hammered appearance hides the various surface
defects. Indeed, the paint easily covers the hollows, reliefs or other
imperfections of the metal surface. It provides an ultra-covering formula
ensuring a remarkable finish without streaking, lining or sagging. 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.). They created the Wooden table series to celebrate the 5th
anniversary of Belgian label Valérie Objects with whom they collaborate
closely.
