A Lot of Work is the first major monograph dedicated to the career of the Belgian studio Muller Van Severen, one of the most distinctive and inventive duos in contemporary European design.

To mark their fifteenth year of continuous practice, this volume presents Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen for the first time both as a collaborative duo and in terms of their individual artistic careers, establishing an honest dialogue between their solo explorations and the shared formal language that defines their work.

Formally conceived as a collage and edited by Nicolás Barreto alongside Nacho Alegre, co-founder of Apartamento, the book draws on public and personal archives to create an open visual narrative in which images interact through proximity and contrast, without the need for forced explanations.

Far from the rigidity of a conventional retrospective, the work is presented as a reflective pause: a window onto fifteen years of drawing in space, the honest use of raw materials, sculptural research and the treatment of colour as a structural architectural element.

A collector’s item that celebrates the aesthetic sensibility and the constant effort that precedes each of their creations.
