Zara Home+ by Vincent Van Duysen - Collection 03
2024
Zara Home+ by Vincent Van Duysen | Collection 03 marks a departure from the conventional focus on specific areas like
living and dining rooms. Set to launch in June, this new chapter
seamlessly blends elements envisioned to enrich the previous
offering with pieces that collectors will covet and desire, elevating
the aesthetic appeal with every detail. Zara Home, renowned
for its accessible and meticulously crafted furniture and
accessories, embarked on this creative journey with Van Duysen
in 2022. Inspired by a shared passion for design refinement, this
partnership delves into the archives of the Belgian architect and
designer. Here, Van Duysen revisits his most iconic pieces and
styles, infusing them with a fresh perspective while staying true to
his design ethos and DNA.
The lines characterizing this third drop showcase a dynamic
interplay, shifting between assertiveness and sinuosity. “As an
Epicurean who appreciates art and beauty, my approach is to
introduce a new dimension, a more sensitive one”, explains Van
Duysen. This evolution aims to resonate with individuals who
value art and objects beyond the surface, fostering a humble and
heartfelt connection with each piece.
The range is still heavily inspired by the first two collections
yet zeroes in on objects which range from wooden to solid brass
accessories to more sculptural objects, doubling as self-standing
decorative elements within a given space or bedecking a tabletop,
pedestal, or nightstand. The Library System 01 is a subtle addition
that can be placed around the sofa acting as a screen that both
embraces the seating component while at the same time contains
books and objects. This element boasts a peculiar texture due to a
solid wood structure with embedded metal containers.
The Lounge Chair 02, a free-standing low chair, creates a little
twist and is more dynamic compared to the previous iterations.
It is utilitarian and functional yet has a sculptural character,
reminiscent of vintage chairs with abstract contours and lines.
The design of Chaise Longue 01, crafted from leather and stained
oak, draws inspiration from a chair that once adorned Van
Duysen’s former residence in Antwerp.
Rug 03, a new striped kilim carpet in beige and dark brown is
characterized by graphical elements, an unexpected iteration of
Van Duysen’s version at his home in Antwerp. Cushion 01, a loose
kilim pillow in dark brown, and new earthy colors for the overall
collection complement the sofas’ covers.
