ABOUT MARC MÜSKENS

MARC'S JOURNEY: FROM MUD TO TAILOR-MADE

Marc Müskens (1983, The Netherlands) is fond of contrasts and stories. He likes to interact with all kinds of people, in all sorts of locations.

Marc enjoys the smallest things but also loves to create unforgettable experiences.

With his continuous hunger for physical and mental challenges, this is 'Living on Your Own Terms' for him. The feeling of freedom.

SUPER HERO, PILOT OR POLICE OFFICER?

No doubt about it: Marc Müskens has always dreamt of becoming an interior designer. With his youthful portion of impatience, he couldn't wait to get his title in the design world.

He graduated in 2007 from the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven under supervision of Li Edelkoort. In 2008, Marc opened the doors of his design studio. Ready to further explore the boundaries of interior design and architecture.

"WE VALUE EXPERIENCE, NOT POSSESSIONS"

Marcs side experience in the hospitality, international tourism and entertainment taught him the art of exceeding expectations and fulfilling desires.

When Marc started to use this natural talent in his own business, 
he soon realized that the interior architecture profession was not just about

'dragging beautiful things into a building.

There was more to this. Much more.
The impact of Interior Design was way bigger than previously assumed.

NO LONGER ABOUT STYLE

This personal journey of discovery inspired Marc Müskens to let others experience, see and feel the same.

When his path unexpectedly crossed with Sven van Buuren, it was soon no longer about 'what' something would look like, but 'why' it should look like this.

Not long after, they combined their two interior design studio's into Masters of Interior Design, which suddenly became a success beyond control. 

The lessons they learned formed the Blueprint for many other interior designers.

is nowhere near what you've been taught in design school.

But it's crucial if you want to have a successful

interior design studio - and - have a relaxed lifestyle.

ABOUT SVEN VAN BUUREN

FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

Sven van Buuren (1980, The Netherlands), has been entrepreneur for the biggest part of his life. He likes zoom out and make rigorous choices.

For Sven, 'Living On Your Own Terms' means designing your own freedom to be able to live your dreams, and Sven does so with abundance.

IN SEARCH FOR THE ULTIMATE

From an early age on, Sven has been working on making things better, more beautiful or more convenient.

This natural talent ensured that before the age of eighteen, Sven had a number of innovations to his name.

In his teens, this indomitable drive for optimization also expressed itself in another great passion: cars. Hundreds of drawings with improved car models have been made over the years.

In 2007 Sven van Buuren obtained his Masters in Interior Architecture at the renowned Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, The Netherlands.

After his apprenticeship with an architectural firm and working as a designer for a mayor interior builder, it was time for Sven van Buuren to start his own business.

Because, of course, he saw opportunities for improvement.

He started his interior architecture office in Rotterdam, which later merged with Marc's interior design office.

“I always try to look at the bigger picture:

What's the layer behind what we see? What is the essence?"

- Sven van Buuren

CREATIVITY IS A SYSTEM

Sven is not only an interior architect, but also a visionary, redefining the profession of interior design. According to him, the traditional working method and way of thinking in interior design is long overdue.

Interior design trajectories take far too long and are way too impersonal, despite the numerous appointments and design versions.

This combination often means that the essence gets lost and leads to annoyances for both the interior designer and the client.

That is why Sven devised a new process to achieve better end results.

Since 2015, he has further developed this process together with Marc Müskens
into the current proven Interior Impact Formula©.

With a vision of what is possible, based on functionality and personal meaning.
Institute of Interior Impact was born.

ROAM THE WORLD

Nowadays Sven created a lifestyle where he can travel the world, while working both on the Institute of Interior Impact and his design studio. He comes over to the Netherlands for a few weeks whenever a new project arises.

As Marc likes to say: "the physical distance puts Sven even more into his power of of zooming out and seeing the bigger picture."

He truly is Living Life On His Own Terms and is an absolute star in supporting you to follow Your Dreams as well.
