July Carpet
for Kvadrat
The July carpet, designed by Muller Van Severen for Kvadrat, draws inspiration from the natural fleece of a sheep, particularly evoking the short, neat fleece characteristic of high summer after shearing.
July exhibits a beautifully organic appearance and texture through an innovative patent-pending production process. This process involves finishing the rug using water, heat, natural soap, and mechanical friction. As the pile yarns interact and connect during production, the need for latex backing typically used on tufted rugs is eliminated. This process avoids using additional chemicals in the backing and makes the carpet easier to recycle at the end of its lifespan.
The July rug’s final pile thickness is random and vivid, creating an organic shift from one texture to another. Each rug boasts a unique pattern, adding to its individuality and natural charm. Additionally, the corners of the rectangular rugs feature a slightly organic look, further enhancing the rug’s natural expression.
July is designed for light to moderate residential and commercial use, offering aesthetic appeal and practicality for various spaces.

Muller Van Severen
Belgium
Belgian duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen began working together in 2011. 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.
