Muller Van Severen and OFFICE kgdvs launch the RASTERS collection for BD Barcelona in Milan

During Salone del Mobile in Milan, Muller Van Severen and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen launch RASTERS, a series of cabinets and paravents made for BD Barcelona.

The collaboration between Muller Van Severen and OFFICE KGDVS is grounded in a shared formal language that draws from sculpture and architecture to transcend mere utility.

RASTERS originates from a simple yet powerful concept: using an industrial grid commonly employed in architecture as the structural basis for a family of modular paravents and cabinets. However, after recognizing the environmental impact of the original material, the team replaced it with natural varnished solid beech, combined with veneered beech MDF shelves and powder-coated steel for the doors, back panels, drawers, and paravent elements.

This shift not only enhances the collection’s sustainability but also introduces new aesthetic and strategic flexibility. The black polyamide injection-moulded connectors take advantage of the grid, allowing installation wherever needed, and enabling the system to grow horizontally without limit. Balancing natural wood with colored metal, Muller Van Severen brings their signature chromatic sensitivity, creating pieces that are friendly, light, and emotionally engaging.

Designed as a modular furniture system, RASTERS responds to contemporary needs for organization and spatial division, combining timeless aesthetics with functionality and durability to seamlessly adapt to domestic, work, and hybrid office environments. ​

About Muller Van Severen

​Founded in 2011 by Belgian artists Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, Muller Van Severen emerged from years of individual practices as visual artists and a shared desire to rethink the everyday. Their collaboration began with the design of functional objects and evolved into a distinct language shaped by sculpture, architecture and use — independent of trends or external expectations.

Their furniture exists as drawings in space: fine lines, transparency and openness allow both the surrounding architecture and the objects within to remain visible. Rather than occupying or enclosing, each piece frames and activates its environment. Their work moves between opposites — presence and absence, strength and fragility, control and spontaneity. Reduced to its essentials yet never neutral, each design carries a quiet tension, balancing sharp and soft gestures. Instead of imposing itself, it enters into dialogue with its context while maintaining a clear and recognisable identity.

Function is fundamental to their practice, and every formal decision serves use. Solid, timeless materials are applied in their purest form and combined in unexpected ways. Colour plays a central role, treated as material rather than ornament, shaping rhythm, contrast and spatial perception.

Through an intuitive and ongoing dialogue, Muller Van Severen has established a singular and internationally recognised voice within contemporary design.
