Specifications:
Poised midway between a small armchair and a chaise longue, Pablo stands out for its accentuated, comfortable design, resulting in aesthetic and structural solutions with a strong visual impact. The appealing shape is defined by an accentuated depth and a slightly inclined front. The frame is in solid wood in various finishes. Flowing on from the backrest and fastened to the armrests, the seat seams to float, suspended in mid-air. It comprises a double layer of thick leather with light seat padding, barely visible to the eye but capable of ensuring great comfort. Apparently simple, Pablo reveals a meticulous attention to detail. The result is especially noticeable in the proportions, which are calibrated to the millimetre, in the constant counterpoint of straight and curved lines, and in the frame’s vertical elements softened by a curved section.

Specifications:
Theo is an armchair with a strong identity, with the seat that appears suspended and floating on a support that contrasts its static nature. It is available with fabric or leather upholstery: one-color for a more classic look, two-tone for a younger and more ironic proposal. The steel base is available in various finishes.

Specifications:
The architectural Oskar table, named after Oscar Niemeyer, one of the great masters of modernist architecture, stands out for its harmony of shape and for the tactile sensations of the various materials used. Its proportions, play of volumes and multiple finishes make it extremely customisable. In its most striking version, the top in cathedral glass with an irregular surface and a light green hue perfectly matches the lacquered legs in glossy emerald green. Oskar is available in three sizes: three rectangular and one square.

Specifications:
Minimalist, geometric, linear, almost modular, Surface is a series of multipurpose, highly customisable small tables inspired, in the words of the designer, by a painting by Piet Mondrian and the sculptures of Donald Judd. Skilfully combining wood, metal and satin and glossy colours, they express a poetic design that moves between reduced forms, essential materials and natural colour choices. Sober features that never issue from simplification but rather from a subtle quest for balance.

Geometric and linear, the Surface storage units with drawers stand out for their reduced forms, essential materials and colour choices – sober features that never issue from simplification, but rather from a subtle quest for balance. With their vast customisation possibilities and combination of materials, they are truly iconic pieces of modern furniture.

Specifications:
The Pablo armchair by Vincent Van Duysen, with its decisive design and innovative proportions, is available in an outdoor version, breathing life into a series that includes an armchair in two depths, sofa, and footrest. The soul of the original project lies in the wood frame, which for Pablo Outdoor is made of teak, the ideal material for outdoors. The geometry of the supporting frame presents a sophisticated balance of straight and curved lines, but this is not just an aesthetic choice. In fact, the frame, with its uninterrupted surface, was designed to ease maintenance of the wood, which is easy to treat as necessary. The rear fabric panels are anchored to rods that can be removed easily. This is also an aesthetic choice that meets a technical solution aimed at simplifying care for the wood and maintenance of the textile parts. These design expedients allow customers choosing the Pablo Outdoor collection to let it age naturally or have it returned its original condition. The continuity of the form and quality of the wood make Pablo Outdoor particularly pleasant to the touch. Comfort and softness are also found in the deep seat and back enhanced with cushions that can be arranged freely. The low seat is composed of a single generously upholstered cushion, nearly a mattress that creates an ample area perfect for isolating yourself or sharing moments of conviviality.

Specifications:
The decisive yet soft lines of Pablo Outdoor seats are perfectly balanced in the small cement outdoor tables. Linear, solid, and highly geometric shapes represent the heart of these architectural objects with a certain effect. To provide multiple solutions, the small Pablo Outdoor tables come in two sizes and two colours. The colours give shape to a large, low model that works perfectly as an island defining a conversation area, and a higher, narrower model with a square base, is ideal as a service element next to the sofa or armchair.
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. In 1989, he established Vincent Van Duysen Architects. Today, the firm has grown into a team of more than twenty collaborators with works ranging from product design for numerous international brands, to commercial and large-scale architectural projects, with a focus on high-end residences. From the outset, a definite relationship between architecture, interior and product design has been the driving force behind the conception of projects. With respect to context and tradition, it is an approach within which the senses, the physical experience of space, the textures and the light place the integrity of the user at its core. Functionality, durability and comfort are the prime components of the project, an architectural language not shy to convey aesthetics, but prone to eschew fashion and trends.
