Lifetime Achievement

Vincent Van Duysen

Just like Henry van de Velde, Vincent Van Duysen weaves together architecture, interior design and aesthetics. His restrained, sensual objects and interiors which have gained him global recognition provide a humane, sheltering refuge in this busy world.

Young Talent

BRUT Collective

Six young Belgian designers have formed a collective and in only a year, conquered the hearts of the design world. Brut is a success story involving Belgian design, joining forces and playing with the line between Art and Design.

Company

De Zetel

Do you practice the same profession as your great-grandparents a century ago? David Behaegel (29) does; he heads a chair factory a stone’s throw from where his great-grandfather Cyriel Behaegel built the same in his workshop in 1923, in Ardooie near Roeselare.

Public

NMBS M7

Under the direction of Axel Enthoven, Yellow Window designed the new Bombardier M7 double-decker trains that the Belgian national railway company, NMBS, shall gradually be bringing into service starting in September 2018.
