The Van Nellefabriek, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands, is an iconic example of 20th-century industrial architecture, built in the 1920s. Designed with steel and glass facades using the innovative curtain wall principle, it was conceived as an "ideal factory" that prioritized daylight and open, adaptable workspaces to enhance working conditions. This modernist structure reflects the functionalist culture of the interwar period and highlights the Netherlands' historical role in processing and trading tropical food products like coffee, tea, and tobacco for European markets. Recognized in 2014, it stands as a symbol of architectural innovation and industrial heritage.
