VEEN gots an AWE when the brand was accepted by the independent fashion brand AWE to its "one-of-a-kind" fashion party. This squattish fashion party consisted of an installation where both industrial designers and fashion designers collaborated to create an installation of life in itself. An abandoned industrial office space was filled with cutting edge industrial design and AWE clothes to create a loft like apartment. Just invite your friends, ask a DJ to play music and you have a party. A great party to have a sip of VEEN to go with it.
VEEN WATERS PLAYS WITH THE ARSENAL TEAM, AT THE ANNUAL ARSENAL CHARITY BALL IN AID OF ITS CHARITY OF THE SEASON, GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL CHILDREN’S CHARITY

VEEN Waters was there to support the cause and was served as the official water to the guests attending the Charity Ball.
The Gunners’ World Ball was hosted by X Factor presenter and Arsenal fan Dermot O’Leary and attended by the Arsenal manager, first team squad and Barbara Windsor MBE, who has supported the partnership from the very beginning. It promised to be a spectacular evening which included live music from BRIT nominated The Feeling. In addition, the smooth tasting VEEN played its part in being the perfect match with a menu of fine food and wines brought to guests by celebrity chef, Raymond Blanc.
The evening saw a host of celebrity guests supporting this event in innovative ways to keep guests entertained and amused throughout the night including an exciting grand auction with money-can’t-buy prizes to please the crowd. The night were rounded off with a set played by radio DJ Emma B.
Arsenal’s Manager, Arsène Wenger said: “The annual ball is the culmination of a wonderful partnership with our Charity of the Season which the players and myself look forward to. It’s a befitting way to bid farewell to Great Ormond Street Hospital and to raise a large amount of money in order to reach - and even surpass - our season’s target of £500,000 for this wonderful charity.”

Finland’s best known contemporary artist Kaj Stenvall is now the new VEEN Art - artist. Stenvall’s quirkily named "VEEN Art - Better than a cookie!" painting on VEEN bottles world premiers at Harrods in Knightsbridge, London. The painting is a contribution to the VEEN Art charity collection and is made available for consumers on the numbered special edition VEEN bottles at Harrods and in poster form at the VEEN and Stenvall websites.
All funds to charity
The charity VEEN bottles are sold exclusively at Harrods and all funds raised will be donated for London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in the autumn of 2009. "This is a great opportunity for us to bring joy to so many children, doing what we do best," says Kaj Stenvall.
What is VEEN Art?
VEEN Art is a concept featuring famous artists and designers bringing VEEN Water into their creations. The artist has full artistic integrity to complete the work. “We want to raise talk with artists to create awareness and money for good causes,” says Tomi Grönfors, MD of VEEN Waters Finland Oy.
”Better than a cookie!” by Kaj Stenvall
The painting features a duck familiar from Stenvall’s earlier works. Water is playing the leading role and is featured in three forms: in a glass, in the sea and in tears. The tears are there out of pure joy and enjoyment
of sipping VEEN. It is hard to say whether the duck is laughing or crying for the water being so smooth.
Kaj Stenvall first came to attention of the Finnish art scene about ten years ago when he began to paint a very familiar-looking duck in a variety of settings. Stenvall asserts that this character has been developed by himself, even while acknowledging its similarity to the most famous duck in the world. The scenes in his pictures are from the world at large and his duck often appears in absurd, if recognizably generic, settings. There really is nothing in his paintings that one can put their finger on to connect them to any particular corner of the world, especially not to Finland, except perhaps a specific intensity of angst and foreboding.
