For those who design
not just what people see, but what they feel.
Pre-Orders for the First Edition are now open.
For years, people have asked how I design —
how atmospheres are born, how flow appears, how beauty becomes inevitable.
This book offers only a glimpse.
A look behind the scenes at the quiet decisions, awareness,
and inner structure that shape every experience I create.
It reveals that structure —
quietly, precisely, elegantly.
It is written for those who design beyond aesthetics —
for those who design resonance.
• Decades of global creative insight distilled into one source of inspiration
• The unseen architecture behind beauty
• Insights for planners, designers, architects, and cultural creatives
• Tools, principles, and lived experience brought together in one volume
Every design begins as an emotion, translated into form.
The Art of Design unveils how structure, proportion, and presence shape not only what we see ; but what we feel.
It’s an invitation to pause. To remember that true luxury is not possession ; it’s presence.

Voices from those who’ve experienced the art of Tomas De Bruyne.

Three cities.
Three moments.
One awakening.
The journey of The Art of Design unfolds in three acts ,
a first spark in Istanbul, a quiet shimmer in Milan, and its full revelation in London.
ISTANBUL — "WHERE IT ALL BEGINS"
Table Design Exhibition · December 2025 In collaboration with Meltem Tepeler of KM Events
It begins where relationships and ideas meet. At the Table Design Exhibition in Istanbul, the first public announcement of The Art of Design will be shared during Tomas’s panel on Sustainable Success Through Connection. This moment marks more than a reveal ; it is a declaration that beauty becomes meaningful when creators, suppliers, and partners uplift one another. A spark. A beginning. A doorway opening.
MILAN — "THE PRELUDE"
Tiffany & Co. Flagship Store · March 2026 In cooperation with International Event Planner Diana Da Ros
In the heart of Milan’s luxury district, the world will encounter the book for the first time ; not in its final form, but as a Luxury Edition Book, presented inside the iconic Tiffany & Co. flagship.
This pre-launch celebrates a rare meeting of worlds:
the craftsmanship of fine jewelry and the emotional architecture of floral design.

Here, surrounded by Tomas’s floral scenography, the Signature Edition Book will be introduced to an international audience of planners, creators, and visionaries.
This is more than a book launch. It is a moment where philosophy becomes experience. Where structure meets imagination ; and beauty reveals its meaning.
A crescendo - A revelation - A night that will be remembered.
