March Wool Rug

c. 2023

by Muller Van Severen

March Kvadrat Muller Van Severen

The March rug by Muller Van Severen for Kvadrat takes inspi­ra­tion from the natural fleece of sheep, captur­ing the essence of long, curly, and irreg­u­lar wool just before shear­ing. This organic aesthetic is both visu­ally capti­vat­ing and richly tactile. Crafted using an inno­v­a­tive, patent-pending produc­tion process, the March rug is finished with water, heat, natural soap, and mechan­i­cal fric­tion — elim­i­nat­ing the need for tradi­tional latex backing. This chem­i­cal-free approach enhances recy­cla­bil­ity, making it a sustain­able choice. The rug’s dynamic texture features an unpre­dictable pile thick­ness, creat­ing a lively surface that evolves across each piece. Even the rectan­gu­lar designs main­tain a subtly irreg­u­lar, organic appear­ance, ensur­ing that every March rug is truly one of a kind.

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.
