Very honored to have designed this beautiful 17th issue of the "cahiers van de velde", dedicated to Herman Daled. He was the first president of the Fonds Henry van de Velde and he was an attentive, available, helpful and generous president for some fifteen years — from 2004 to 2019. His death at the end of 2020 came as a shock to the many people who had known him as a radiologist, collector and friend of artists, as well as an architecture enthusiast; a committed enthusiast who owned one of the most interesting houses built by van de Velde in Brussels for more than 40 years: the Wolfers Hotel. It is to this exceptional and paradoxically little studied house, and to the very particular way in which Herman Daled chose to 'be present' there, that this tribute booklet is dedicated.
