JUUNOO
JUUNOO founder Chris Van de Voorde is a man with a mission. “I once lost a pitch because I said that my ambition is to turn all the walls on Earth, the moon and Mars into sustainable, circular JUUNOO walls. ‘Ridiculous’, I heard then, ‘too much imagination’. But I do mean it.”

The jury on JUUNOO
The jury is presenting the Ecodesign by OVAM Gold Award to JUUNOO, the modular wall system consisting of height-adjustable steel modules. The walls, which can consist of different materials, can be easily moved by means of a click system. The company thus creates a sustainable and ecological impact in the construction and office markets. The principle of circular construction and furnishing thus gains an additional function, and is widely shared by the team behind JUUNOO.
