The design of three different products for Molteni&C was inspired by the masters of Flemish painting.

Vincent van duysen paul sofa

The Paul sofa, the small Jan table and the Quinten sideboard.
In particular, Vincent Van Duysen explored two historic periods that characterized the legendary Antwerp school of painting.

For the small table,Jan van Eyck (1390-1441), for the sideboard Quinten Massijs (1466-1530), founders of the school and painters whose obsession for detail led to compositions that were often like those of modern photographs.

For the sofa, Pieter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), master of a style of Flemish painting that verged on the Baroque, with more delicate tones, where color prevailed over form.

A set of elegantly proportioned sofas with reassuring lines, elements that emphasize

The project includes linear sofas, angular
compositions, chaises longues and islands, all with a single seat cushion.
