Product description
Maarten van Severen MVS Lounge Chair for Durlet, Belgium, 2004 – First Production A highly important example of the MVS Lounge Chair designed by Maarten van Severen and produced by Durlet in 2004. This model represents the final maturity of Van Severen’s design language — radical reduction, structural clarity and uncompromising ergonomics. The chair is conceived as a sequence of geometric planes connected through a precisely engineered reclining mechanism. Every angle is intentional. Every line structural. Executed in thick black leather with visible stitched edges and mounted on a grey lacquered circular steel swivel base, the piece combines sculptural presence with mechanical intelligence. The reclining system allows multiple positions while maintaining visual integrity in each configuration — a testament to Van Severen’s obsession with purity and functional honesty. Produced in the year of introduction and belonging to the early production series, this example retains its original upholstery and structure. The leather shows light natural patina; the base presents minimal age-related wear. Structurally solid and mechanically flawless. Maarten van Severen (1956–2005) remains one of the most intellectually rigorous designers Belgium has produced. His work is included in major museum collections worldwide. Pieces from his late Durlet period are increasingly collected due to their limited production and historic relevance. A museum-worthy seating object for collectors of post-minimal European design.
