Bridges in New Oyster White Colourway

“We were interested in how the Bridges Cabinet interacts with light and atmosphere. This new colour and high-gloss surface reflects its surroundings and softens the object’s presence, creating a sense of balance and calm. At the same time, the sculptural base remains strong and expressive. The cabinet feels grounded, but never heavy.”
— Fien Muller

Bridges is a collection of handmade cabinets developed from Muller Van Severen’s ‘Onda’ vase series for the Italian company Bitossi. The vases’ silhouettes were translated into architectural storage pieces defined by distinctive cut out bases in Arch, Curtain and Triangular forms.

Within the original Bridges palette of red, green, blue and aubergine, the colours were chosen for their chromatic intensity; the selection celebrated vibrancy and contrast. Oyster White introduces a different register. Neutral and balanced, the high gloss lacquer enhances depth and radiance, emphasising volume over contrast and light over density.

Defined by sculptural bases that move between structure and openness, solidity and air. In Oyster White, these base contours appear even sharper and the relationship between mass and void becomes clearer.

Through form, structure and colour, Muller Van Severen’s designs respond to the spaces they inhabit. Bridges in Oyster White reflects this approach. It does not simply occupy a room. The high gloss lacquer reflects light, shadow and movement, allowing the cabinet to engage with its surroundings.

Although softer in tone, the Oyster White Bridges cabinet remains architectural and monumental in presence.
