Vincent Van Duysen Architects, founded in 1989 by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, is a multidisciplinary studio acclaimed for its seamless integration of architecture, interiors, and product design. With origins in Lokeren and formative years spent working alongside Aldo Cibic in Milan and Jean De Meulder in Antwerp, Van Duysen has cultivated a practice that spans high-end residences, commercial developments, and bespoke product lines across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the USA. Driven by subtle transitions between disciplines, the studio employs pure, tactile materials and a restrained palette to create clean, timeless spaces that honor context and tradition while prioritizing user comfort, durability, and functionality.
Under Van Duysen’s leadership, the firm has grown to more than twenty collaborators and has earned prestigious accolades such as the Flemish Culture Prize for Design, Belgian Designer of the Year, and the Henry van de Velde Lifetime Achievement Award. Recognized repeatedly in Architectural Digest’s AD100, Vincent Van Duysen has also shaped the identities of global brands as Art Director for Molteni\&C, Dada, and later Sahco for Kvadrat—crafting flagship stores, exhibition stands, and product collections. His work, celebrated in international publications and monographs by Thames & Hudson, remains distinguished by a spatial rigour and sensory richness that transcend fleeting trends.
