Vincent Van Duysen was born in Lokeren, Belgium, in 1962, and undertook a degree in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, Ghent.

In 1990, he opened his own studio in Antwerp concentrating on architecture and interiors. A strong relationship exists between Van Duysen’s designs and architectural projects – he develops furniture and objects with an architectural perspective, creating spatial relations rather than shapes. Subsequently many of his designs reference primary forms or historical objects which Van Duysen redefines through a contemporary lens.
