"One of the challenges of the year has been designing this battery table lamp, inspired by Adolf Loos's iconic table lamps. We wanted a look that wasn't too technical but rather elegant and timeless." - Vincent Van Duysen

Vincent Van Duysen's first portable light for Flos is the perfect dining companion; a soft glow charmingly graces the tables, contributing to the setting's atmosphere. Van Duysen created a fitting design to adapt to different interiors and moods, versatile yet distinctive in its minimalist, sophisticated forms. Designed to provide the perfect light and unbeatable visual comfort for tables of up to four diners, the exclusive Gustave optical system, patented by Flos, uses a series of asymmetrical emission lenses placed in revolution to distribute light obliquely 360º around the lamp.

Vincent Van Duysen was born in Lokeren, Belgium, in 1962. After earning a degree from the Sint-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, Vincent Van Duysen Architects was established. Today, the firm has grown into a team of thirty collaborators with work ranging from product design for numerous international brands, to commercial and large-scale architectural projects, with a focus on high-end residences both in Belgium or spread across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the USA. The use of pure and tactile materials translates into clean, timeless design. With respect to context and tradition, it's an approach within which the senses, and the physical experience of space, textures and light place the integrity of the user at its core. Functionality, durability and comfort are the prime components of the work, an architectural language not shy to convey aesthetics, but prone to eschew fashion and trends.

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. His name has also been included in the AD100 survey by the Architectural Digest network and Elle Decor A-List multiple times. For many years, Van Duysen's work has been appearing on a number of prestigious international publications. Starting from 1994, his projects and realisations have also been featured in different monographs among which those edited by renowned publishing house Thames & Hudson.
