According to the previous owners, this is a very early version from before the duo signed with Valerie Objects.
This poetic piece was part of their debut collection, which made a big impression in the design world. Nowadays they are considered one of the most image-defining European designers.
The Duo Seat + Lamp was presented in the end of 2011 during Design Brussels. This object juxtaposes two seats made of lacquered steel and natural leather which is sewn to the frame by hand. The rectangular shape of the object contrasts with the arc-shaped leather cloths. The back rail of one seating becomes the arm of the second one. It is made with round steel bars instead of square-shaped or L-shaped profiles like the series before. The reason for this is the focus on seating. Muller Van Severen wants to put forth the simplest way of designing a seat; by hanging a piece of cloth between two bars. Duo seat + lamp urges people to sit really close without actually seeing each other.
It is in very good original condition with a nice patina on the leather. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
