After the presentation at Roelants House designed by Willy Van Der Meeren in May, MANIERA will present the new objects by MOS at the gallery from the 16th of June.
For MANIERA, MOS designed furniture and objects inspired by the Shakers community, a very religious community in the United States, mainly active in the 18th and 19th centuries. Central to their vision of furniture and space was the pragmatic, the functional, and the simple. The Shakers made 'Peg Furniture', which means furniture with sticks or pegs. With the Peg Collection, MOS has created a number of pieces for MANIERA that keep this philosophy in mind, but take it a step further. The objects are simple and straightforward, but sometimes serve multiple functions. Modular and simple objects - a storage basket, stools, a sofa, an outdoor stove - with a twist.
