authentic thinking

and creative minds

are at the heart of the label

valerie_objects is an Antwerp-based design label initiated by Axel Van Den Bossche and art director Veerle Wenes, combining their professional and personal tastes for all things good and beautiful.

By allowing designers, architects and artists to translate their signature style into tangible objects, valerie_objects has become a unique collection of everyday items with out-of-the-box aesthetics. These are objects people truly get entangled with.

In 2011, Rotterdam-based designer Chris Kabel developed the hidden vases project for the Spanish The Plant Journal (now The Plant). This project started as a research on how to make a vase disappear, based on the way a chicken waterer works. “The flowers are placed around the water container, so it seems like they are growing directly from the plate,”

Chris Kabel explains. “I wanted it to appear invisible, but it became an autonomous object that maintains itself.” A small collection of one-off vases was produced, based on the initial research. Two different models are available at valerie_objects. Metal, glass and ceramic form the framework to arrange flowers in.

Chris Kabel was born in Bloemendaal, the Netherlands, in 1975. He graduated in 2001 from the Design Academy Eindhoven. In 2002 he moved to Rotterdam where he started his design practice. He works with design labels, architects, cultural institutions and design galleries. His designs are in the collections of MoMa New York and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

D.D. Trans

D.D.Trans transforms everyday, household objects that are taken out of their context and enhances them with the inspiration he draws from strolling through do-it- yourself shops. For valerie_objects, the artist has designed a collection of small mirrors, based on the covers of paint pots. So nothing is what it seems when it comes to D.D.Trans.

.Trans

The name D.D.Trans is a pseudonym taken from a now defunct transport company. As the name says, the artist’s work is about transformation: day-to-day, often domestic objects are taken out of context and after a small alteration turned into works of art. The result is at times formal, then poetic or funny.

Since 2011, Muller Van Severen, the design practice of Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, has been on an inspired quest for sculpturally interesting furniture objects – items that are spontaneous and produced with apparent effortlessness. The universe they create together dovetails quite naturally with their work as separate artists. Muller Van Severen is the first artist duo signed with valerie_objects. —photo by Mirjam De vriendt

For Muller Van Severen all objects are sculptures and should be treated as such. That is why they design even the smallest of objects, giving back an aesthetic meaning to all tools that we use in the living space.

“We don’t want to make these tools disappear whenever they’re not needed. For us it’s very important that the objects we use also create a beautiful image when they’re not being used” say Fien & Hannes.
