By its very nature, a chaise longue is a piece designed to follow the body, supporting it in a relaxed and extended posture while offering optimal comfort. In Moor, this principle takes shape through a structure that becomes the distinctive feature of the project: it unfolds as a sensual and organic loop on which the rattan weaving is stretched, creating a continuous surface that gently receives the body. The woven rattan introduces warmth and tactility, while allowing the form to remain light and breathable. Particular attention was given to the design of the legs, which were conceived so as not to interrupt the rhythm of this flowing gesture. Their discreet presence allows the continuity of the loop to remain clear and uninterrupted. The result is an essential presence, in which each element contributes to strengthening the clarity of the sign and the overall harmony of the form. Ergonomically conceived, comfort is an essential aspect of the project: Moor naturally invites moments of rest and relaxation, accompanying the body with a sense of ease and support. Moor is designed to live both indoors and outdoors, maintaining the same balance between structure, material expression and comfort.

Vincent Van Duysen
Lucas School of Architecture, Ghent, he worked with Aldo Cibic in Milan, followed by a collaboration with Jean De Meulder in Antwerp, Belgium. In 1989, he established Vincent Van Duysen Architects. Today, the firm has grown into a team of about 40 collaborators with work ranging from product design and creative direction to hospitality-led projects, alongside commercial and residential architecture, in Belgium and across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. From the outset, Van Duysen has defined a close relationship between architecture, interior, and product design, allowing subtle transitions between these disciplines to shape his projects and guide a constant search for essence. Through pure, tactile materials and a deep respect for context and tradition, his work results in clean, timeless spaces that prioritize sensory experience, functionality, durability, comfort, and an aesthetic that deliberately avoids fleeting trends. Over the years, he has engaged in long standing collaborations with brands such as Molteni&C, Flos, Kettal, Kvadrat, Mutina, Serax, Sutherland, Zanotta, Fantini, B&B Italia, Zara Home, and more. In 2016, Van Duysen was appointed Creative Director of the Italian brand Molteni&C. In this role, he has overseen the brand’s creative vision across multiple scales, coordinating architecture, interiors, product development and communication, and contributing to the definition of a coherent and internationally recognizable identity. During his career, Van Duysen has received multiple awards among which the Flemish Culture Prize for Design, Belgian Designer of the Year and the Henry van de Velde Lifetime Achievement Award, and an EDIDA for Best Interior Designer of the Year. In 2021, the Winery VV has also been nominated and shortlisted for the Mies Van Der Rohe Award. His name has been featured on Architectural Digest’s AD100 survey and the Elle Decor A-List on multiple occasions. For many years, Van Duysen’s work has been appearing on a number of prestigious international publications. Starting from 1994, his projects and realizations have also been featured in different monographs among which those edited by renowned publishing house Thames & Hudson, with a third one to be released in Fall 2026. In 2024, “Vincent Van Duysen: Private”, a new personal look into the architect’s residences, has been published by Rizzoli with photography by François Halard.
