GUEST OF HONOR
This year’s Guest of Honour among the exhibitors is the Belgian design duo Muller Van Severen, celebrating their ten-year anniversary.
This year, the Belgian duo Muller Van Severen will take centre stage as Guest of Honor at the 2021 edition of Contemporary Design Market.

Muller Van Severen was founded in the early Spring of 2011. With both Fien Muller and Hannes Van Se - veren being artists, it’s natural that the collection sits somewhere between design and art. The couple has been on an inspired quest for sculp - turally interesting furniture objects, always including the space around it, and characterized by a careful research into their shared passion for art, architec - ture and materials. At the same time Muller Van Se - veren’s designs appear to be created almost intui - tively and with total effortlessness. It looks as if the designers draw with crayons in space. After winning countless awards and collaborating with prestigious museums (such as Vitra Museum, Centre Pompidou and Musée d’Art Decorative Paris) and galleries (Galerie Kreo, Side Gallery, Valerie Traan Gallery) worldwide, Muller Van Seve - ren is considered to be one of the most image-defi - ning European design teams of today. Their creations are globally identified in both private homes and public spaces. All of 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.
