Belgian Design has become a real household word and therefore this unique overview has been eagerly waited for. No less than 135 Belgian designers, selected by an international jury, present their strongest and most recent product or environmental designs, in the book and the exhibition Label-design.be, Design in Belgium after 2000.
The publication is being published by Stichting Kunstboek Publishers. The book presents at least four designs per designer and furthermore also includes all coordinates and outlets.
Three essays by Lise Coirier, Johan Valcke and Francis Smets precede this unique overview.

A solitary walk and an innovative photographic look at some 200 sites evoking the industrial past of Belgium and Luxembourg.
In the space of about twenty years, Luc Van Malderen has succeeded in capturing on film the faded splendour and formal severity of the buildings that once housed gret industry, today turned into ruins on the road of extinction or protected monuments, preserved as they are or destined for new purposes.
Lise Coirier evokes this source of inspiration, at once artistic and documentary, industrial sites subject to irresistible entropy.
