Helios
Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, the Helios outdoor kitchen is a refined synthesis of Italian craftsmanship and advanced outdoor technology. With its clean, monolithic lines and quiet architectural presence, Helios integrates seamlessly into a wide range of outdoor environments—whether paired with the Landmark or Timeout collections.
The kitchen is available in an array of finishes that evoke natural and tactile materials: MDi stone surfaces by Inalco, warm teak wood, or sleek stainless steel. This material diversity allows for extensive customisation and ensures a perfect aesthetic match with both natural and contemporary outdoor settings.

Vincent Van Duysen
Born in 1962 in Lokeren, Belgium, Vincent Van Duysen studied architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas in Ghent. Between 1986 and 1989, he gained valuable experience working in Milan and Brussels before establishing his own studio in Antwerp in 1990. His work seamlessly blends architecture and interior design, creating a symbiotic relationship between the two disciplines. Van Duysen’s designs for furnishings and accessories adopt an architectural mindset, prioritizing spatial awareness and the interaction between interior and exterior environments. By reshaping architectural proportions, he crafts designs that are pure, simple, and timeless, yet retain a tangible solidity and substance.
Van Duysen’s architectural practice has undertaken a broad range of noteworthy projects. These include his first venture into the Belgian hotel industry and an impressive portfolio of international work. Among his key projects are private residences in cities such as London, New York, and Milan, as well as offices in Beirut and Riyadh. He has also designed high-end commercial spaces in global capitals like Paris, Rome, and Hong Kong. Additionally, Van Duysen has collaborated with Molteni&C, creating iconic pieces such as the Gliss Master cabinet system and the Ribbon bed.
