Belgian-born architect and product designer Vincent Van Duysen exploded onto the global design scene when he founded his eponymous architecture firm at the tender age of 28. Van Duysen has since won countless industry awards including Designer of the Year at Paris’s Maison & Objet Fair 2009.  Van Duysen is the subject of three monographs, most recently a 2013 retrospective by A.MAG.  SUITE NY is proud to carry several Van Duysen designs, including his Totem bookshelves, Pottery and the Shadow table.  Each is imbued with the character and quality we expect from this world-renowned creative mind.  Daring, funny and vivacious, Van Duysen is one of our favorite friends of the art and design world.
