Über den Red Dot Design Award<br />
Um die Vielfalt im Bereich Design<br />
fachgerecht bewerten zu können,<br />
unterteilt sich der Red Dot Design<br />
Award in die drei Disziplinen Red<br />
Dot Award: Product Design, Red Dot<br />
Award: Communication Design und<br />
Red Dot Award: Design Concept. Der<br />
Red Dot Award wird vom Design<br />
Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen organisiert<br />
und ist einer der größten<br />
Design-Wettbewerbe der Welt. 2015<br />
feierte er sein 60-jähriges Jubiläum.<br />

Established seal of quality with a guarantee of success<br />
Manufacturers and designers from<br />
54 nations have once more submitted their<br />
latest product innovations for 20<strong>17</strong>. They<br />
provided a lot of work for 39 experts from<br />
all over the world – independent designers,<br />
design professors and specialist journalists<br />
– because a record number of over<br />
5,500 products had to be closely examined.<br />
The experts appointed to the jury<br />
spent many long days on site in Essen<br />
looking at each individual product – in<br />
order that they could finally award the<br />
Red Dot for high design quality and innovation.<br />
Only those designs which displayed<br />
excellent design quality receive the<br />
coveted award.<br />
The sustainability aspect of the »biobrush«<br />
toothbrush caught the jury’s particular<br />
attention: the plastic and packaging are<br />
based on cellulose made from wood residues<br />
from sustainable forestry. The dyes<br />
and plastic are biologically degradable, and<br />
the packaging can even be composted as<br />
garden waste – for which reason the »biobrush«<br />
was honoured with the Red Dot:<br />
Best of the Best award.<br />
They have been long established as industrial<br />
robots, and now they are conquering<br />
further product worlds: lawn mowing,<br />
window cleaning or vacuum cleaning for<br />
example; intelligent aids already play an<br />
active role in many households. A new<br />
approach, for example, is provided by the<br />
PuduBOT, Red Dot: Best of the Best<br />
winner in 20<strong>17</strong> in the »Robot Technology«<br />
category. It was created to assist waiters<br />
in restaurants. PuduBOT brings<br />
orders to the guest by means of high-precision<br />
laser radar technology, and can even<br />
interact using facial expressions and voice.<br />
The award ceremony took place at the<br />
beginning of July. The winners of the<br />
highest award, the »Red Dot: Best of the<br />
Best«, including Audi, Kartell, Artemide,<br />
Hansgrohe, Bora, Electrolux, LG, Canyon<br />
Bicycles, Philips, Puma, Niessing,<br />
Apple and Bose were honoured at the Red<br />
Dot Gala in the Aalto Theatre in Essen.
