Muller Van Severen duo transplant their living room to Design Miami
At Design Miami this week, Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen have created an exact replica of the living room at their home in Ghent.
The couple, who run design studio Muller Van Severen, teamed up with Airbnb for the installation titled A Wild Thing.
A full-size replica of the room was created at the Florida design fair ? while back in Belgium, the original property was put up for rent on Airbnb.
Muller Van Severen's team populated the replica with all of the couple's furniture, which was shipped over. The result is an almost identical copy of the space, down to the light switches.
The duo said the found the space slightly unnerving when they first walked in.
"It's very weird," Van Severen told Dezeen. "It's like we travelled for hours and we're back in our living room again." "I'm glad it's weird though, because otherwise it wouldn't have been right," added Muller.
Features replicated in the booth include white walls and a wooden floor. Where the windows would be are lightboxes displaying the views of the home's driveway, and Muller Van Severen's nearby studio, outside.
Among the items recreated are a wooden bookcase. This takes up a full wall, and is filled with books and other personal trinkets.
"It's a very important piece because it affects the whole room," said Van Severen. "The colour of the wood is done very well, and is the same."
Some of the duo's geometric furniture pieces are also presented in the space, alo...
