and interior designer. Together with Victor Horta and Paul Hankar he could
be considered as one of the main founders and representatives of Art
Nouveau in Belgium. Van de Velde spent the most important part of his
career in Germany and had a decisive influence on German architecture and
design at the beginning of the 20th century."
