Peter Ivens: Houses
Sisse Bro
Luster, 2024
€60,00
Peter Ivens’ designs often come about in close collaboration with his Belgian partner in crime Bea Mombaers. The two of them have been working together intensively for over a decade, without really dividing their roles in the classic way, blurring the lines between architecture and decoration.
For Ivens each house tells its own personal story. ‘Custom-made’ is a core value in his oeuvre: he tailors each home to the specific needs and personality of its residents. No bells and whistles, no loud, showy signature, but silent luxury stemming from a sophisticated choice in materials and a unique sense of space.
Ivens’ portfolio is prestigious and diverse, yet his style is recognisable. This beautiful coffee-table book, in which each chapter is dedicated to a different house, is the perfect proof. Except for a brief introduction by design journalist Sisse Bro, the photos by Eefje De Coninck and Senne Van der Ven do all the talking, showcasing Ivens’ universe in the most classy and inspiring way
