ARCS TROLLEY AND ARCS MIRROR by Muller Van Severen
The continuation of HAY's collaboration with Belgian designers Muller Van Severen, Arcs Trolley and Arcs Mirror are the latest products in the series to feature the distinctive, scalloped silhouette.
Each product in the Arcs Collection is simple in its material but beautiful and complex in its expression.
"For us, a good object is always very technical and poetic at the same time. The curves in this object are not random, they have a function." Muller Van Severen.
HAY’s first serving trolley, the Arcs Trolley, sees the same graphic appeal of the existing Arcs range translated into a piece of furniture. Designed to be used widely, the trolley comes in two sizes so it can be used as kitchen storage, a side table between seats, or as a bedside table.
The mirror is just as versatile, available in round and rectangular formats so it can be placed above the sink in a bathroom just much as in a bedroom or hallway.
“It’s very unusual for the visual language of a product to be able to be carried through so many different typologies, ranging from accessories to lights and even to furniture, and yet that’s what we have here with Arcs: it was a candleholder and a vase, and it has since become a lamp and now, jumping across the aisle to the furniture category, a beautiful trolley, and mirror”. Rolf Hay, Co-Founder and Creative Director of HAY
Like in the rest of the Arcs Collection, both products are made from stainless steel and come in a range of colours, including Dusty Grey, Jade Green, Steel Blue, and Auburn Red.
