The matter of the eternal.

In issue 24, we discover matter not as a substance, but as memory made visible.
From Chidy Wayne's resonant studio in Barcelona to Luca Guadagnino's Palazzo Talìa in Rome, from Yoyo Balagué's performative gestures on the Catalan coast to Oliver Gustav's intimate world in Copenhagen—each story speaks of what endures, of what is essential and of the quiet beauty that time cannot erase.

The Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen has been creating sublime and nuanced works for over three decades, with a minimalist approach that does not go unnoticed. This monograph compiles his complete works from 1989-2009, including his residential, commercial and office space architectural design, as well as furniture and decorative objects designed for renowned international manufacturers such as B&B Italia, Poliform and Swarovski. With over thirty projects presented in luxurious detail, each one accompanied by his commentary - many of them also include photos taken by photographer Alberto Piovano - and a complete chronology of the project.
