From Julie:
In addition to designing suavely minimalist residential and commercial projects, Antwerp-based architect Vincent Van Duysen has designed earthenware bowls for When Objects Work and cascading crystal chandeliers for Swarovski. We especially admire his kitchens; see more of his work at vincentvanduysen.com:
