The architectural Oskar table, named after Oscar Niemeyer, one of the great masters of modernist architecture, stands out for its harmony of shape and for the tactile sensations of the various materials used. Its proportions, play of volumes and multiple finishes make it extremely customisable. In its most striking version, the top in cathedral glass with an irregular surface and a light green hue perfectly matches the lacquered legs in glossy emerald green. Oskar is available in three sizes: three rectangular and one square.

Concept
Oskar is a table seen through the eyes of an architect. It was designed by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, and this is how he describes its inspiration: “it is named as a tribute to Oscar Niemeyer and this choice, beyond the individual name, reflects my veneration for all great modern architects whose work is a combination of fluidity, sensuality and expression through materials”.
This masterpiece of “classic future” style stands out for its harmonious proportions and the tactile sensations of the different materials and finishes used.
The most evident classic styling element is the use of cathedral glass, make with a technical procedure invented by the B&B Italia research and development department (Centro Ricerche & Sviluppo B&B Italia). Before it is cooled, the glass sheet is put on top of a metal sheet with an imperfect surface that gives it the characteristic movement of fresh plaster.
Thanks to the plasticity of the forms, the top appears to be slightly detached from the legs, almost suspended, which accentuates the combination of materials even more.

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.
