why minimalism?
Minimalist room ideas are great for making small spaces a p p e a r l a r g e r. Minimalist decor and practices almost never go out of style when done well. Because minimalist interior design is all about the beauty of the refined and the well-judged, you can save on bringing in too many furnishings and features that you simply don’t need. - DECORMAG 6

The course that Vincent Van Duysen has covered since 1990 shows a great consistency and a coherent design vision. From the star t, he has focused on making a profile for himself with the design of a number of retail projec ts. This focus was no coincidence. Van Duysen has said on many occasions that if he had not had the opportunity to study architecture he would undoubtedly have pursued a career in fashion. It is therefore unsurprising that after his studies in Sint Lucas Gent he moved to Milan, a city renowned as one of the world capitals of design and fashion. In Milan he became convinced that a designer should not only express a concept as clearly as possible, he 12
should also pay attention to every significant detail.
Van Duysen is of ten re ferred to as a minimalist, but he rejects the label categor ically. This h o u s e , i n p a r t i c u l a r, r e veals something more complex. “I try to reduce t h i n g s t o t h e i r e s s e n c e ,” he says, “but not at the expense of comfort and s o u l .” W h i l e m a n y a r chitects seem to think of furnishings as an after thought, Van Duysen takes a more holistic view. “I think of the furnishings at the same time a s I c o n c e i v e t h e s p a c e .”

The concept would revolve around the shape of the rise and set of the sun. The sun acting as a symbol of awakening in the everyday life, and remarking its importance as main source of life which “brings the best light in everyo n e .” T h e s h a p e o f t h e s u n w o u l d be incorporated in the architectural elements of the space as well as in the details. Always embracing details over adornment.
