_alu chair oak_oak muller van severen, today’s most revered design couple in europe, recently surprised the world with a collection of wooden tables. indeed, wood was a material unknown to their design practice. for more than a decade, fien muller and hannes van severen created high-end design objects using lesser-known materials such as polyethylene, enamel and lacquer. anything but wood. Valerie_objects challenged the designers to experiment with wood for the first time. Today it has the honor of presenting Muller Van Severen’s second project involving world’s most natural material. This time Fien and Hannes revamped their classic Alu Chair by interchanging the aluminium back and seat with a wooden version made of multilayered oak. The result is staggering: a piece of furniture carrying the playful DNA of Muller Van Severen, yet with a sober, toned-down feel to it. In other words: a visually well-balanced chair that fits in every living room, from classic to contemporary.
