In Residence: Muller Van Severen - NOWNESS

Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen—the creative duo behind Ghent-based design studio Muller Van Severen—are no strangers to having unknown visitors explore their carefully curated home. For the 2017 edition of Design Miami, the couple created an exact replica of their living room as an installation, collaborating with global room-for-rent service Airbnb. Earlier this year, filmmaker Emile Rafael travelled to the Belgian city to meet the designers in the space they call home, bringing our usual In Residence treatment to a space that we would become softly obsessed by.

The home itself, a large 19th century building accompanied by an adjacent studio, was originally an orangery that has later been renovated into a modern workspace. Prototypes and samples sit alongside materials and references, hinting at the thoroughly-researched process by which their highly refined furniture and objects come into existence.

The objects conceived and produced by Muller Van Severen tend always toward the deceptively simple, favoring geometric lines and subtle silhouettes over complicated fussiness. Their home also plays host to many collected objects, as well as a small wooden chair designed and built by their daughter. Bloc colours, supported on legs and frames of black, copper, and gold, mean that the objects remain light and uncomplicated, while also revealing—on closer inspection—their finely balanced engineering. Soft leather seats are suspended in frames of sharp metalwork; while plastic shelves rise confidently and sparsely against the wooden floors. Honest, solid materials prevail over fussy and complicated resources. The resulting furniture speaks confidently for itself.

Portrait of a Place: Flash

We're excited to premiere a trilogy of scene-setting new films from London-based directorial duo James & James (comprising James Coyle and Jamie McCormack). Each of the works comprises an atmospheric portrait of a person and a place; in this instance, the pair chose Louisiana as their location, leading to ten days of street-casting and filming in the city of New Orleans.The music for each film was scored by London-based musicians St Francis Hotel. Here, the creative duo behind this tender triptych talk about filming Flash and the much mythologized city that he calls home:

"We found Flash via instagram as we were searching for Bounce Dancers in New Orleans the week before heading out to the city. We messaged back and forth a few times and then met up in the city to see if we could make a film together. We only had a limited time with Flash, so in preparation we toured the city and found spots that suited our aesthetic—visually interesting areas of the city with good sources of light. Luckily in New Orleans this isn’t too hard to find, so it was a process of honing down our selection of spots to best suit the time of day we’d be there—and of those that also vibed with Flash’s own impressions and thoughts on what the city meant to him.

"When you’re allowing yourself only two days to film something like this you need a fair dollop of luck, too. One of our favourite shots is with Flash dancing with the train passing by slowly in the background. We hoped this would happen but couldn’t be certain it would, as we had no access to the timetables of these goods trains. On top of this, it was only in looking back at the footage that we realised that the floor was covered in weird graffiti."

Portrait of a Place: I Come for Peace

We're excited to premiere a trilogy of scene-setting new films from London-based directorial duo James & James (comprising James Coyle and Jamie McCormack). Each of the works comprises an atmospheric portrait of a person and a place; in this instance, the pair chose Louisiana as their location, leading to ten days of street-casting and filming in the city of New Orleans. The music for each film was scored by London-based musicians St Francis Hotel. Here, the creative duo behind this tender triptych talk about filming the urban cowboys who call this much mythologized city home:

"What’s the coolest thing we could find in New Orleans in the short time we’re there? That’s the question we posed ourselves and, inspired by a Time article released earlier that year, and based on our limited knowledge of the second line parades that take place in the city, the answer we agreed on was urban cowboys. That was only half the battle, as we still had to find our contributors.

"We went about the task like private detectives, a couple of greenhorn gumshoes, searching the city and chasing down the odd horse rider or cowboy we might see riding on the opposite side of the street. After a few dead ends, bad recommendations, and lost causes we were directed out to Pontchartrain Stables and on arrival knew we were in luck, where a real sense of peace sits over the place like a well fitted saddle. We were welcomed straight away and invited into their lives in a way we never expected."

Portrait of a Place: Blues Boy George

We're excited to premiere a trilogy of scene-setting new films from London-based directorial duo James & James (comprising James Coyle and Jamie McCormack). Each of the works comprises an atmospheric portrait of a person and a place; in this instance, the pair chose Louisiana as their location, leading to ten days of street-casting and filming in the city of New Orleans.The music for each film was scored by London-based musicians St Francis Hotel. Here, the creative duo behind this tender triptych talk about filming George and the much mythologized place that he calls home:

"We met Blues Boy George in a dive bar on Frenchmen Street straight after he played a short set sharing the stage with Walter ‘The Wolfman’ Washington—who is an established presence in New Orleans, and who likes to give his old friend and protege an opportunity to play in the city. Straight away we thought there might be something in filming with George. He has a wild presence and playing style. We approached him for a chat and found ourselves sat in his white Cadillac as he smoked a spliff and told us his story, about wild nights in LA back in the day and still trying to break through with a new album he’s made, recorded in his trailer.
