The Infra rug by Vincent Van Duysen is defined by a discreet striped pattern. The stripes emerge through a gentle relief rather than contrast, creating depth through texture instead of color. This variation in height gives the surface a tactile quality and introduces a measured play of light and shadow across the floor.
The composition is tonal and restrained, allowing the rug to integrate naturally into a wide range of interiors. Infra is tufted entirely from wool, selected for its softness, durability, and ability to hold relief with precision. The material supports the design’s understated character, offering comfort while maintaining a clear, composed appearance.
Designed to function as part of a coordinated living environment or as a standalone element, Infra brings continuity to the space through texture and proportion. Its texture is defined by surface articulation and an elegant balance between pattern and material.
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.
