Discover Benelux, Issue 79, June 2023

Why get rid of furniture when you can recycle it? On our cover this month is renowned Dutch designer, Ineke Hans. Hans won the 2022 Dutch Design Awards with REX, the Netherlands’ first chair that comes with a refundable deposit. Read our thought-provoking interview with Hans, whose chair has been lauded with numerous awards (including this year’s Green Product Award) and is part of the collection of five museums. This issue of Discover Benelux not only looks at some of the region’s most fascinating (and sustainable) design, but we’re also spotlighting companies that are making our business environments greener and safer. Plus, plenty of other interesting reads, including stories on the arts (we go behind the Ghent Altarpiece and find out about Van Gogh’s fascinating food paintings), the water-laced Dutch village of Giethoorn and a mini-guide to Brussels.
