DESIGNER
VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
Vincent Van Duysen’s collections for Serax epitomise the pureness of form and intuitive relationship with materials that have helped cement his reputation as one of Europe’s leading architects and designers.
After early experiences in the studios of influential Italian post-Modernist Aldo Cibic and Belgian interior designer Jean de Meulder, van Duysen was quick to establish his own path, leading to the launch of his practice in Antwerp – the city that has been his home since the 1980s.
He quickly garnered international acclaim for his ability to create distinctively atmospheric, serene, and tactile spaces in which every element is connected and considered: a “total environment”. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has refined this approach, applying it at every scale.
From buildings to chairs, each project is richly layered, drawing on influences from art history and Modernist architecture and design, and combining a deep respect for natural materials and colour palettes with a singularly contemporary sensibility.
This philosophy resonates clearly in his Cena tableware, Passe-partout tableware, and August outdoor furniture collections for Serax.

DETAIL
COLLECTION
With a vision that results from an unbridled curiosity, Vincent Van Duysen always creates an all-inclusive atmosphere in which he seamlessly interweaves architecture, interior design, and design objects. A vision to which he also stayed true when he was commissioned to convert the monastery of the former military hospital in Antwerp into a hotel.
For the terrace he designed the August collection, a series of minimalist chairs that effortlessly link the history of the environment to a modern interpretation.
August by Vincent Van Duysen for Serax is made of powder coated aluminium, available in muted shades. This makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The chairs, lounge chairs, sun loungers, tables and stools articulate the sheer simplicity of the monastic life they were inspired by. The wider, slightly lower proportions of the lounge chairs are of this day and age and contribute to modern-day comfort.
CARE GUIDE
At Serax, we use various metals, including steel, cast iron and aluminium. Each metal has its own precautions.
Steel can rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen. That’s why we have put a protective coating on it. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild soap to avoid scratching the coating. Always drying well after cleaning is not an unnecessary luxury. Our cast iron teapots are enamelled on the inside and, therefore, stainless.
The exterior is thermally coated and is not fully water resistant. Dry the teapot thoroughly after use. If some rust develops, remove the stain with a soft brush or sponge.
If you have persistent rust, you can use cola. Rinse, dry thoroughly and rub the teapot with some (olive) oil if necessary. Aluminium oxidises naturally, but that doesn’t harm. On the contrary, the oxidised top layer avoids harmful rust.
For this reason, aluminium is water-resistant and a suitable material for outdoor furniture. We apply an extra protected coating on the aluminium and recommend not to use aggressive cleaning agents.
