Vincent Van Duysen

Vincent Van Duysen was born in Lokeren, Belgium, in 1962. After earning a degree from the Sint-Lucas School of Architecture, Ghent, he worked with Aldo Cibic in Milan, followed by a collaboration with Jean De Meulder in Antwerp, Belgium.
In 1989, Vincent Van Duysen Architects was established. Today, the firm has grown into a team of thirty collaborators with work ranging from product design for numerous international brands, to commercial and large-scale architectural projects, with a focus on high-end residences both in Belgium or spread across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the USA.
From the outset, a definite relationship between architecture, interior and product design has been the driving force behind the conception of projects inspired by subtle transitions between these disciplines and combined with a spatial design attitude, constantly striving for the essence.
The use of pure and tactile materials translates into clean, timeless design. With respect to context and tradition, it’s an approach within which the senses, and the physical experience of space, textures and light place the integrity of the user at its core. Functionality, durability and comfort are the prime components of the work, an architectural language not shy to convey aesthetics, but prone to eschew fashion and trends.

Flos

Flos, since 1962, thanks to its attractive collections of lamps and chandeliers has established itself among the leaders in the lighting sector.

Flos tells a 100% Made in Italy story, the result of passion and trust, expansion and experimentation.

The name "Flos" which means "Flower" in Latin, has as its origin a bright thought: the idea of giving birth to objects suitable for changing the way of living from a light bulb.

The Italian Company has designed icons in the design world, specialized in the production of lights and lightning systems.

Among all the Arco floor lamp, the Parentesi and Taraxacum suspension lamps (on the cover) by Achille Castiglioni, the famous Taccia lamp, the Aim, the Toio, collections of unmistakable elegance such as the String Light and other ultra-contemporary solutions, collaborating with the best known designers and architects on the national scene.
