The Pablo armchair by Vincent Van Duysen, with its decisive design and innovative proportions, is available in an outdoor version, breathing life into a series that includes an armchair in two depths, sofa, and footrest. The soul of the original project lies in the wood frame, which for Pablo Outdoor is made of teak, the ideal material for outdoors. The geometry of the supporting frame presents a sophisticated balance of straight and curved lines, but this is not just an aesthetic choice. In fact, the frame, with its uninterrupted surface, was designed to ease maintenance of the wood, which is easy to treat as necessary. The rear fabric panels are anchored to rods that can be removed easily. This is also an aesthetic choice that meets a technical solution aimed at simplifying care for the wood and maintenance of the textile parts. These design expedients allow customers choosing the Pablo Outdoor collection to let it age naturally or have it returned its original condition. The continuity of the form and quality of the wood make Pablo Outdoor particularly pleasant to the touch. Comfort and softness are also found in the deep seat and back enhanced with cushions that can be arranged freely. The low seat is composed of a single generously upholstered cushion, nearly a mattress that creates an ample area perfect for isolating yourself or sharing moments of conviviality.

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.
