Reviews
"Dwek launched his international career in 2000, while still in his 20s, with the design of a Louis Vuitton flagship boutique in a historic building in central Brussels. And now, this month, the first book of his designs, Olivier Dwek: In the Light of Modernity, is being published by Rizzoli. The tome contains a curated look at nine of Dwek's most impressive projects, from the restoration of an Art Nouveau townhouse in Brussels, to a sleek triplex in the posh Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, to a pair of dramatic new houses in white concrete and walls of glass that are perched on cliffs in the Greek island of Zante." -GALERIE MAGAZINE
