Marvellous Muller Van Severen surprised us at this Salone with a very special presentation named ‘Fireworks’. On the top floor of the Art Deco building nicknamed The Kremlin they showed their latest work – five folding screens for the Massimo De Carlo gallery – in a kind of round observatory overlooking the whole of Milan.

Before the two began their collaboration Fien Muller was a photographer and Hannes Van Severen (son of designer Maarten Van Severen) an artist. Together they create furniture-like objects in beautiful shapes and the most wonderful colour combinations, something for which Muller Van Severen seems to have an eye. The objects are made from paper-thin enamelled steel, which makes the colours look even more saturated, and have the thin black rims that come with enamelling. In a single word: fantastic. This is actually the best thing about the Milan Design Week: you get to visit places nobody gets to visit and to experience the most amazing presentations. Magical!
