In 2015 The Maarten Van Severen Foundation and the Department of Design of KASK / School of Arts Ghent decided to establish a chair with the aim of conveying the relevance and significance of Maarten Van Severen’s work for today’s designers. Every year a leading designer, whose work has an affinity with the work of Maarten Van Severen, will give a lecture and a masterclass. In 2016, Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli gave two lectures and a three-day masterclass with 10 students from 5 different art schools. After the masterclass, the students kept uploading images of their process on the MVSC blog. The result is a collection of things, presented here as the second MVSC Cahier.
