Warnings
- Keep for reference: read carefully.
- Always remember to be careful not to use the product improperly, considering its designated functions.
- When the product is no longer used, do not abandon it, but take it to a suitable public waste collection facility.
- To maintain the quality and finish of the surface, it is advisable to use protective articles (e.g. placemats or trivets) under objects that could scratched it.
- The technological difference between wood and other materials is that woods are rich in water. Wood is therefore a hygroscopic material that is subject to water exchange with the external environment, which can cause dimensional variations and shrinkage cracks on a macroscopic level, inside a certain interval of possible humidity levels. The phenomenon of shrinkage in solid wood is inevitable because direct exposure to sun and air causes the wood to dry out naturally. Shrinkage cracks are therefore to be considered a physiological phenomenon and not proof of low quality of the material or of the presence of defects.

Maintenance
Wood - Painting
- For weekly maintenance, dust the surface with a dry cloth.
- For dried dirt, use a well-squeezed out cloth, damp with warm water.
- For greasy or oily dirt, use a damp sponge and dish washing detergent, and then wipe with a well-squeezed out cloth damp with warm water.
- Warning! Apply the detergent directly on the damp sponge, and never on directly on the furniture.
- Do not exert excessive pressure and always follow the grain on wood furniture.
- Note that if you press or rub too hard, surfaces can become 'polished'.
- Avoid using abrasives and products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
- Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.
Steel
- We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces and/or warm water and neutral soap.
- Never use abrasives or products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
- Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.
Glass
- Dust the entire surface carefully to remove any dust (use a soft white cloth).
- We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces.
- Rub the surface to be cleaned gently without concentrating just on the area requiring attention: start instead with a larger section and gradually work your way towards the area in the middle.
- That way, you will avoid rings or scratches forming, which may be produced if you apply too much pressure to the surface.
- Never use solvents or abrasive detergents.
Marble (polyester)
- For normal maintenance, we advise using a microfibre cloth damp with warm water.
- In case of stains caused by liquids and/or greasy substances, blot/remove the stain immediately and then wipe the entire surface with a cloth damp with warm water.
- Never use solvents or abrasive detergents, and always avoid contact with very hot objects (e.g. flatware, coffee pots, teapots).
- To maintain the quality and finish of the surface over time, it is advisable to use protection on the surface (e.g. placemats or trivets) under objects that could scratch it.
- Warning! Marbles with polyester can turn yellow if exposed to constant sunlight and/or high temperatures and humidity.

Designer
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.
