HAY welcomes new additions to its ongoing collaboration with Belgian design duo Muller Van Severen. MVS Cutlery and Serving Spoons merge pared-back design language and considered use of colour in this collection of distinctive and functional mealtime utensils. The combination of brushed stainless steel and painted handles creates a strong visual contrast that can be amplified by mixing up the range of colours: dark blue, green and yellow.
”There isn’t a day that goes by when we don’t use cutlery. Muller Van Severen’s take offers something classic yet modern, making the range ideal for day-to-day use - now and in the future” says Mette Hay, Co-founder and Creative Director of HAY Accessories.
The cutlery blends seamlessly with all kinds of dining bringing a modern and elegant expression to everyday table settings.
”We really enjoy our collaboration with Muller Van Severen,” says Mette Hay. ”They come from fine art and sculpture, so they do relatively minimalistic products but with a very strong sense of materials and proportions. It’s hard to think of a better match for HAY than Muller Van Severen.”
Muller Van Severen was founded in 2011 by Belgian artist duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen. The couple has 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 museums worldwide (such as Vitra Museum, Centre Pompidou and Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris) and international galleries (Galerie Kreo, Side Gallery, Valerie Traan Gallery).
For HAY, Muller Van Severen has designed the Two-Colour Table, Colour Cabinet, the Arcs Lamp Shades, Arcs Candleholder and Arcs Vase, MVS Cutlery and Ceramic Table.
