Henry Van de Velde Awards 2021

For more than a quarter of a century, the Henry van de Velde Awards have emphasised the important social role played by designers and their clients. The Awards show that design is nowadays woven into every fibre of our daily lives and they honour the work of creative entrepreneurs who use design to have a positive impact on our society and economy. These twelve categories show the diverse applications of design and demonstrate how rich Flanders is in design talent.

Henry Van de Velde Awards are organized by Flanders DC
