Vincent Van Duysen. Works 2018-2025

The third in a trilogy of monographs from Vincent Van Duysen, showcasing a range of product, architectural and interior design from the last eight years. Presenting the latest projects from prolific Belgian architect, interior and product designer Vincent Van Duysen, this book brings the trilogy of Van Duysen monographs up to the present day. It includes eleven homes in Europe and north America - among them his own house in Portugal - as well as boutiques, a hotel, a winery and a beach club, each featuring his signature muted style and exquisite finishing. Van Duysen's work is synonymous with modern minimalism and this volume demonstrates the refinement of his ideas since the last book. Each project is richly illustrated through photography, with accompanying plans and texts to explain the context and execution of the design. As in the previous books, residences, products and interior schemes are interleaved, to show the clear through line of Van Duysen's design thinking and the resonance between all three. In each, the reader can discern his clever use of natural materials, and the importance of comfort in the completed scheme. Concrete, oak, marble, lava stone, dark bronze, and aluminium are finished to best highlight their innate qualities and to create an atmosphere of elegant relaxation, whether that be in a chair, hotel interior or a home.
