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.

About
MANIERA
MANIERA gallery commissions architects and artists to develop furniture and objects for use, offering them the opportunity to take an excursion beyond their usual practice. Architects often have a close relationship with the visual arts and artists are often inspired by the spatial environment. MANIERA crystallises these affinities into new design proposals. More than just furniture, the objects produced by MANIERA are a deliberate search for confrontations between the realms of architecture, design and art. MANIERA brings both up-and-coming and well-established figures to the fore. What they all have in common is a personal language and hand, a conceptual mode of thought, and an authentic and idiosyncratic ‘maniera’ or working method. MANIERA was founded by Kwinten Lavigne and Amaryllis Jacobs in 2014.
