Belgian designer and architect Vincent Van Duysen is known for his unique style of blending texture, interior design and an extensive knowledge of architecture. Now, for the first time, he delves into the world of wallcoverings with the Perennials by Vincent Van Duysen collection. “I’ve always been drawn to surfaces that carry a quiet presence, textures you instinctively want to touch. This led me to think about the architectural language I work with every day: soft reliefs, subtle shadows, rhythms that come from stone, plaster, or raw textiles,” begins Vincent. His designs are subtle with a gentle elegance, while also conveying textural depth.
What’s on your walls?
Amongst the Perennials collection is the Tableau Type II, a performance vinyl that blends the look of old-world concrete and creates a surface both distressed and resilient. Grooves assumes a different aesthetic route, crafted with sculpted surface ink that makes for an abstract wall covering. Ashlar features a hand-cut stone look through a method of hand-layered paper pulp in a geometric design, resulting in a bespoke wallpaper for elevated spaces. If stripes align more with your taste, their collections Filament and Stitchery boast a rhythmic horizontal striping and a printed design on vertical textile strings. Tierceron, on the other hand, is a wood veneer that enhances each individual grain with careful craft. A cornucopia of one-of-a-kind selections, the composition of these wallcoverings is a feat of carefully articulated textures and surfaces.
