    Core Collection by Muller Van Severen

    A complete set of hand-painted samples featuring every colour in the palette.
    Each swatch is painted by hand to accurately reflect the finish, depth, and tone of the final colour — ideal for testing combinations and observing how colours respond to light and surface.

    For their personal palette, Core Collection, Belgian design duo Muller Van Severen developed 12 distinctive colours drawn directly from their world of furniture and objects. These are colours you recognise instantly — unmistakably theirs. The Core Collection is exactly what the name suggests: a set of foundational shades the duo returns to again and again. They are the chromatic backbone of their work — colours that shape their visual language and define the essence of their design universe.

    Portrait of design-duo Muller Van Severen for Scandinavian colour and design house, Blēo.

    Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen’s work — better known as Muller Van Severen—were both started as artists, their work naturally positioned somewhere between design and art. The duo creates sculpturally interesting ‘furniture objects’ with the space around it in mind, inspired by their shared passion for art, architecture and materials. Simultaneously, their designs appear to be created almost intuitively, with total effortlessness, as if the designers were drawing with crayons in space. Found in homes as well as large-scale institutions, Muller van Severens own production pieces are handmade by small-scale fabricators and skilled artisans, with an honesty to the rawness and irregularity of the chosen material.
