Get to know the partners of the Henry van de Velde Awards

Why do OVAM, Bokrijk and National Lottery support the Henry van de Velde Awards? We did an interview with each of them on this.

OVAM has been a partner of the Henry van de Velde Awards since 2008. Why? And in which way OVAM itself is committed to sustainability in design? We talked about that with Werner Annaert, Administrator General of the Public Waste Agency of Flanders (OVAM) and Brigitte Mouligneau, Transition manager Circular Economy at Flanders Circular and jury member of the Henry van de Velde Awards since several years.

Bokrijk has been connected with the Henry van de Velde Awards as a partner for several years. What makes this partnership so important? And how is VAKlab committed to innovation, design and craftsmanship? We spoke about this Igor Philtjens, President of Domein Bokrijk vzw and Deputy of Tourism and Heritage Limburg.
