Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.

Octave | Sofa
Octave is a system of modular sofas featuring rigorous shapes. A design marked by geometrical lines, based on mix & match modular elements that came together in linear, angular compositions or with the addition of hanging trapezoidal or rectangular elements in unusual and highly appealing configurations.
Blade-like extruded steel legs support the base on which rest low rectangular fabric or leather upholstered backrests, of the same thickness as the cosy seat cushions.
Guaranteeing the utmost comfort, complementary cushions, again rectangular or square, along with the headrest that can be freely positioned on the backrest, enabling it to be used in various positions.
Thanks to the possibility of creating articulated compositions, Octave is ideal in a “smart working” environment via the use of binding components designed to support laptops and tablets.
In addition to the traditional linear or corner elements, Octave offers open elements with which to create chaises longues or poufs that can be arranged alongside the composition or used as free-standing elements, also for the centre of the room.
