1) New workspaces by Michou van Gennip
From headquarter to hubquarter. The work environment is changing enormously and how can you facilitate a working environment within this evolution that is not outdated within a few years?
Michou van Gennip is an Interior Architect and specializes in designing inspiring work environments. An office design that ensures more job satisfaction, a pleasant atmosphere for employees and customers and is supportive of the vision and goals of the company.
2) Office & Use by Erik Saathof
The interior is ready and everything radiates vitality. How do you ensure that the user makes optimal use of the working environment and resources and gets the most benefit from them? What knowledge and skills are needed and how do you steer behaviour?
Erik Saathof is an ergonomist and workplace instructor and guides organizations and users in the acceptance and optimal use of a new design and resources.

In the new office there is more need for brainstorming activities, creativity and social interaction. These activities can be stimulated by letting people move around the office in a playful way. A presentation about a graduation work that combines moving with working.
Femke Rinsma decided to continue with a master’s degree at the Academy of Architecture after her bachelor’s degree in architecture. In the end, she decided to further investigate the experience of people in the built environment and switched to the master’s degree in interior architecture Corpo-real ArtEZ, where she will graduate in June.

Free guided tours with Van Nelle guide
The unique Van Nelle Factory from 1931 is the monument of Dutch modernism. World famous for the progressive design that gave air, light and space a new meaning in architecture. In 2014, UNESCO completed the international recognition of this exceptional building by granting World Heritage status. During Design District you can walk through and around the factory with experienced Van Nelle guide, and learn why this design is of international significance.
Daily at 13.00 and 15.00 hrs. Maximum 20 people per tour. Starting point at the coffee corner just after the entrance of Design District.
Designer District
In addition to the well-known names of manufacturers, there are 30 starting and/ or self-producing designers on the Designer District. We are very proud of the list of names this year, and we expect a lot from the special presentation in the old Tabacco Factory and in the racks of the former Distribution Center. Make sure you do not miss this part!
Outside District
From the middle of the exhibition halls you can reach the beautiful garden of Design District, where you can sit and relax. With a nice sun and a view of the monumental factory, it is a good place to be. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available from the Food Truck, of course with accompanying snacks. This edition there are presentations of 7 outdoor design brands that you can admire and where you can take a seat!
Good food and drinks
At Design District you will find a large bar and terrace in the Tabaksfabriek where you can enjoy good coffee, a soft drink or a drink, sandwiches, salads, burgers, cake or something else delicious. Near the entrance is a coffee point with barista coffee and goodies, and outside in the garden is a food truck with soft drinks, beer and wine and snacks. But if you really want to sit well, then go to the bistro and wine bar in hall 2, the old distribution center. You can enjoy French onion soup, quiche or a croque monsieur in an original place between the old scaffolding. Or, if the 5 is in the clock, you can order a luxury serving platter with real good wine or quality bubbles!
