HENRY VAN DE VELDE AWARDS WINNER 2016
Henry van de Velde Awards 16 - These are the winners!
The Henry van de Velde Awards 16 are distributed by Flanders DC on 19 January, 7.30 pm. The 12 winners embody the diversity of design.
Thursday, January 19, 2017 — The Henry van de Veld Awards rewards good design since 1994. The are an ode to the diversity, the necessity and the impact of design.
The jury noticed that design in 2016 clearly is extremely relevant and above all inspiring. Designers are more and more focussing on their social function. This way, they are often finding surpising and quite often simple solutions. This way, design can be that beautiful object that you cherish, but it can also be a solution for a small or big social problem in the climate area, mobility, health care, migration,...
It's was no easy task for the jury to chose the winners in the 12 categories, but they did it with grace.
During the ceremony, the Henry Le Boeuf hall was stacked with an attentive audience. The Henry van de Velde Awards are an initiative of Design Vlaanderen, now part of Flanders DC. OVAM and BOZAR are partners in the initiative.
These are the persons giving the awards:
Henny De Baets, administrator-general OVAM, Henry van de Velde OVAM Ecodesign PRO Award 16

INGA WELLBEING
Kledij voor zorgpatiënten / Clothing for hospital patients

Inga Wellbeing is a collection of practical, comfortable yet stylish and attractive clothing for hospital patients. The collection includes smocks, pullovers, dresses, trousers and pyjamas all featuring discreet openings for drains or panels which can be removed easily for routine medical examinations to be performed or to administer treatment. In contrast to the somewhat stigmatising operating gowns currently used, Inga Wellbeing clothing enables patients to maintain complete dignity. They can continue to wear it while being examined or undergoing treatment and without having to be partially or fully undressed by nursing staff, which can be an extremely humiliating and unpleasant experience. Neither do patients need to feel embarrassed in the company of others. The garments are made of natural, soft stretch fabrics. There is no doubt that patients’ feeling of wellbeing positively impacts both their mental and physical recovery.
The Inga Wellbeing range of hospital clothing can be used in all situations and is suitable for patients at every stage of their treatment. The garments are produced by a market leader in hospital clothing which is fully behind the concept and is using all its knowledge, contacts and production capacity to drive the idea forward. Many medical professionals have also expressed their support for the project. On 25 May 2016 it won the ProF Award for best European innovation in a medical care setting at Ghent University for the second time. Looking ahead, the aim is ultimately to be able to integrate smart- and nanotechnology into the clothing. In this respect, it is also possible to integrate a movement sensor.
