Résumé:
Belgian design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen have worked together since 2011, drawing inspiration from their respective family roots to create an innovative and minimalistic modern furniture collection. The pair’s use of simple industrial materials in combination with a rich color palette has created an influential body of work. Through conversations and visual references, this publication unveils the origins and complexities of, and the references embedded in, the DNA of Muller Van Severen's work. Curator Jan Boelen explores the designers' universe through interviews with them, alongside curator and critic Beatrice Galilee, and architects Arno Brandhublr and Sam Chermayeff.

Résumé:
Why do design? What is design for? In a world of dwindling natural resources, exhausted social and political systems, and an overload of information there are many urgent reasons to reimagine the design discipline, and there is a growing need to look at design education. Learning and unlearning should become part of an ongoing educational practice. We need new proposals for how to organize society, how to structure our governments, how to live with, not against, the planet, how to sift fact from fiction, how to relate to each other, and frankly, how to simply survive.

Résumé:
Challenging the way we look at, think of and interact with the social world, "Social matter, social design" emphasizes the role of materiality. This enlarged field for engagement demands that design incorporates a more nuanced and complex reading of how the social is intertwined with the material, which confronts the often reductive or simplistic notion of ‘social design’, and offers novel forms of critical and meaningful engagement at a time of mounting social contradictions. The essays are centered around four major themes: the body; earth; the political; and technology.
