July Wool Rug

July Kvadrat Muller Van Severen

The July Rug by Muller Van Severen for Kvadrat takes inspi­ra­tion from the short, neat fleece of sheep after summer shear­ing, offer­ing a refined yet organic aesthetic. Crafted using a pioneer­ing, patent-pending process, the rug is finished with water, heat, natural soap, and mechan­i­cal fric­tion. This inno­v­a­tive method connects the pile yarns without the need for tradi­tional latex backing, avoid­ing addi­tional chem­i­cals and making the rug easier to recycle at the end of its life. Featur­ing a vibrant, irreg­u­lar pile thick­ness that tran­si­tions natu­rally across the surface, each July rug is unique, with a distinct pattern and texture. Even the slightly rounded corners of the rectan­gu­lar design enhance its organic appeal. Perfect for both resi­den­tial and light commer­cial spaces, the July rug balances sustain­abil­ity, prac­ti­cal­ity, and time­less beauty, making it a versa­tile addi­tion to any interior. 

Muller Van Severen

Belgium

As artists, Muller being a photographer and Van Severen being a sculptor, they are best known for their simple geometric lines and appreciation of materials. Their distinct minimalism has birthed a furniture collection under their combined name, Muller Van Severen, that speaks to art and the function of design.

With materials as the starting point, Muller Van Severen has a fondness for mediums like polyethylene and brass-- both that are used frequently in their works, including the sculpturally interesting four piece Cutting and Serving Boards.

The couple have been on a quest to characterize their works by careful research into their shared passion for art, architecture and materials. At the same time, Muller Van Severen’s designs appear to be created almost intuitively and with total effortlessness.

After winning awards and collaborating with prestigious museums and galleries worldwide, including a group show at the Galerie Kreo in 2014, Muller Van Severen continues to explore the boundaries between art and design in a contemporary and innovative way. All of Muller Van Severen’s own production pieces are handmade with an honesty to the rawness and irregularity of the chosen material.
