Silhouettes is a collection of candleholders in 100 percent raw aluminium, created in collaboration with BD Barcelona, to mark the 15th anniversary of the Belgian design studio Muller Van Severen, made up of Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen. Following our newest release, A Lot of Work, the first monograph to present Fien and Hannes both together and as individual artists, this new, home-oriented collection comprises four candleholders, each model—Triangular, Rectangular, L, and Radius—an abstract reinterpretation of recurring motifs in the Muller Van Severen oeuvre, as well as in their early individual practices—chairs, cabinets, lamps, vases, and sculptural structures. They are all drawn directly from Silhouettes: Celebrating 15 Years, the exhibition presented during Salone del Mobile 2026, where 15 gigantic candleholders crowned by colourful candles take over the space. Together, these off-kilter reinterpretations of familiar domestic forms bring the enigmatic elegance that defines Muller Van Severen’s work into the home. This collaboration joins Apartamento’s creative vision and BD Barcelona’s longstanding nonconformist spirit to produce four stand-alone objects that mark the language Fien and Hannes have been cultivating for a decade and a half.
About Muller Van Severen
Founded in 2011 by Belgian artists Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, Muller Van Severen grew from years of individual artistic practice and a shared desire to rethink the everyday. Their collaboration began with functional objects and evolved into a distinctive language shaped by sculpture, architecture, and use, independent of trends. Their furniture exists as drawings in space: fine lines, transparency, and openness allow both the environment and objects within to remain visible. Solid, timeless materials are used in their purest form, combined in unexpected ways, while colour becomes a structural element, shaping rhythm and perception. Through this approach, Muller Van Severen has forged a singular, internationally recognised voice in contemporary design.
