The fascination of monolithic objects made of a single material has inspired Vincent van Duysen to apply this concept to his latest creation, the Intersection kitchen. A single material, natural stone, with which to create a unique, sculptural and architectural object.

Firstly, this project implies choosing a material that fits the purpose, natural stone, with the unique characteristics that Nature bestows, and secondly, using innovative technologies to achieve it, as is deducible from the doors of the bases, which open effortlessly to guarantee the utmost functionality. The natural stone slabs are machined and excavated with high precision mechanical processes, so as to lighten the panels and guarantee them for domestic use.

These monomaterial “shells”, subsequently applied to alveolar aluminium panels, guarantee that they are light, stable and mechanically resistant, thereby allowing a door to be built all in one with the side panels of the island. And the material nature of natural stone, with its unique and unrepeatable look, enters our homes with a spectacular application.

Technical characteristics:


-Finishes available for worktops, channels and doors: (pending a final check on the applicability of the various finishes of the range)
-The monomaterial concept, until now reserved for Intersection’s tops and channels, is now extended to doors and side panels as well
-It will not be possible to integrate dishwashers or to make storage columns, wall units or corner units
-Elegant machining on the external corner linking door and side panel

Geometric inlays on the doors highlight the wood’s natural features and showcase the plasticity of lacquered surfaces, with a design that recalls architecture dominated by geometric proportions.

Its surfaces intersect to create patterns of light and shadows, solid worktops with important customisable sections with almost imperceptible profiles or sections chiselled like sculptures.

Vincent Van Duysen

Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
