The Remi console is a meditation on material, form, and the power of craftsmanship.
Design
Vincent Van Duysen
“For this console, we embraced a more decorative look and feel: a piece of furniture able to create a connection among the living room elements and to introduce subtleties within the wooden details. Remi can be placed behind our new sofa or as a stand-alone.”
Vincent Van Duysen
The console was designed to be placed behind the new Augusto sofa to mirror its proportions and act as a counterweight to the upholstery’s soft volume. Made of coffee oak essence and available in 230x55cm with a height of 55 cm, Remi's elegant shape makes it suitable for a multitude of different layouts. Forming a unified design, the console’s subtle configuration is a testament to Molteni&C craftmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
Design
Vincent Van Duysen
Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
