A Lot of Work is a monograph celebrating 15 years of work by Belgian design studio Muller Van Severen. Bringing together the practices of Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen as collaborators and individual artists, the book moves between archive, artwork, and visual essay — tracing the evolution of their distinct design language. Edited by Nicolás Barreto and Apartamento co-founder Nacho Alegre, its collage-like structure allows images and ideas to unfold intuitively rather than chronologically. Raw, reflective, and quietly experimental, it offers an intimate look into the process and material sensitivity behind one of contemporary design’s most influential studios.
