des Bouvrie

A visual chronicle of two innovative leaders of contemporary design

Every once in a while a design firm charts a course that is truly memorable, a direction that turns heads, and makes an impact. Dutch designers and the husband-and-wife team of des Bouvrie are one such iconoclastic force. Their design approach for interiors and exteriors, both residential and commercial, is risk-taking, thought-provoking, and always forward-looking, creating a self-contained universe of modernity where bold and noteworthy art plays a significant role. Now, this stunning volume showcases highlights of their body of work to date. Their style is cerebral, with a sleek appeal that artfully interjects powerful jolts of solid colour to create dramatic and original statements.
