New wall unit with an innovative opening mechanism used in the Gliss Master system by Molteni&C: Sistema 7.
The core of this project is a horizontally folding mechanism that allows the doors to be moved sideways, silently and effortlessly, from their closed position to the side of the compartment. If the side is not free, they can overlap the adjacent compartment leaving it completely accessible and without occupying the space directly in front of it.
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.
