Surface Storage Unit

Surface Storage Unit by Vincent Van Duysen for B&B Italia transforms functional storage into sculptural artistry through the marriage of geometric precision and architectural mastery. Drawing direct inspiration from Piet Mondrian’s revolutionary paintings and Donald Judd’s minimalist sculptures, this modular system elevates the humble drawer unit into an iconic piece of modern furniture. Van Duysen’s architectural sensibility shines through every detail, creating storage solutions that appear to float effortlessly while maintaining perfect proportional harmony.

The geometric forms showcase a sophisticated reduction that never sacrifices complexity for simplicity, but rather achieves balance through the subtlest design decisions. With vast customization possibilities combining different materials, finishes, and configurations, each Surface unit becomes a bespoke expression of contemporary living. Available in multiple heights and depths, these modular components can function independently as striking accent pieces or combine into comprehensive wall systems that redefine interior landscapes. This collection represents Van Duysen’s second collaboration with B&B Italia, building upon his reputation for creating furniture that functions as architectural extensions of the spaces they inhabit.
