a passion for innovations and product trends Sample pages Living 2016 / 2017 Ron Cast Iron Cookware Gusseisernes Kochgeschirr Manufacturer BergHOFF Worldwide, HeusdenZolder, Belgium In-house design Pieter Roex Web www.berghoffworldwide.com
This cast iron cookware features high heat-retaining abilities and thus is suitable for both slow cooking and the preparation of hearty stews in the oven or on the stovetop. The cover locks the moisture in and small bumps on the interior direct evaporating juices back. There is not much oil needed to cook with this pan, making it ideal for low fat frying and cooking. Large handles ensure a safe grip, even with oven mitts or potholders.
Dieses gusseiserne Kochgeschirr eignet sich aufgrund seiner besonders guten Wärmespeicherung für längeres Schmoren sowie für herzhafte Ofengerichte und Eintöpfe. Der Deckel schließt die Feuchtig keit ein, wobei die Erhebungen an der In nenseite das aufsteigende Kondenswasser in den Topf zurückleiten. Sowohl beim Anbraten als auch beim Kochen wird nur wenig Fett benötigt. Breite Griffe bieten einen sicheren Halt, selbst bei der Verwen dung mit Ofenhandschuhen oder Topf lappen.
Statement by the jury Clear lines combine in the Ron cookware with harmonious colours, elegantly underlining the high quality of the materials used. Begründung der Jury Eine klare Linienführung wird bei Ron mit harmonischen Farben kombiniert, was die Hochwertigkeit der Materialien elegant unterstreicht.
COOK & SERVE | inducTHERM® Porcelain Cookware Porzellankochgeschirr Manufacturer Eschenbach Porzellan Group, Neue Porzellanfabrik Triptis GmbH, Triptis, Germany In-house design Claudia Bischoff Web www.eschenbachporzellan.com
For everyday household use, this German cookware was developed from a novel porcelain material. The patented porcelain mass is suitable for use on all types of stoves as well as for use in the oven, microwave and grill even withstanding the thermal demands of an induction cooker. After the food has been prepared, it can be stylishly served, stored or heated up in the cookware. This versatile use saves a lot of time, keeps the energy costs low and thus protects the environment. The design places particular focus on the aesthetics in the appearance of the porcelain.
Für den täglichen Gebrauch im Haushalt wurde dieses in Deutschland gefertigte Kochgeschirr aus einem neuartigen Porzel lan entwickelt. Die patentierte Porzellan masse eignet sich für alle Herdarten sowie Backofen, Mikrowelle und Grill und hält selbst der thermischen Belastung eines Induktionsherds stand. Nach der Zube reitung können die Speisen darin stilvoll serviert, aufbewahrt oder erneut erwärmt werden. Die vielseitige Nutzung spart Zeit und Energiekosten und schont somit die Umwelt. Besonderes Augenmerk bei der Gestaltung lag auf einer ästhetischen Porzellananmutung.
Statement by the jury A design of harmonious lines highlights the simple elegance of this porcelain cookware – an innovative product solution.
Blue Lake House Restaurant
Begründung der Jury Eine ausgewogene Linienführung betont die schlichte Eleganz des Porzellankoch geschirrs – eine innovative Produktlösung.
Design Beijing Fenghemuchen Space Design Center (Yi Chen, Muchen Zhang), Beijing, China
Web www.fenghemuchen.com
Natural structures The Blue Lake House in Beijing was developed to spa tially complement the restaurant of the same name. Inspired by a philosophy of nature already successfully implemented into the main building, this architecture also realises the notion of complete embeddedness into the surrounding. With the aim to provide a more private, multifunctional space for dining, parties or smallsized commercial activities, the Blue Lake House features a 5.8metrehigh main room. Its outer ap pearance is marked by a refined metal structure sup porting both the roof and main body of the building. Inspired by the surrounding environment, this struc ture was designed in the shape of a tree crotch. This impressive construction lends the space a flowing organic appearance, making the roof virtually float above the peripheral walls. The result of this concept is that sunlight is allowed to pour freely into the inte rior space, creating subtle interplays of light and shade changing with the time of day and year. Supporting this natural ambiance of the space, both the interior and the exterior of the Blue Lake House were deco rated using solid wood. In addition to that, leather furniture, works of art and an ornamentation steeped in history further evoke a warm feeling of being at home. Gently protected by a quiet, natural and cul tural space, guests can experience pure comfort and relaxation.

DU Armchair Armlehnstuhl Manufacturer Sureeco, Hangzhou, China In-house design Hesu Dong Web www.sureeco.com
In order to make the DU armchair as ergonomic as possible, the contours of a human body were measured precisely using a 3D scanner. The readings served as the basis for the chair design so that the backrest, for example, curves to fit one’s body snugly. This classic-looking chair is made of walnut. The seat consists of a metal construction combined with leather, a special stitching technique has been used to conceal the seam. Legs and seat are screwed together to provide the necessary stability. Statement by the jury The DU armchair will satisfy even the most demanding expectations people may have of ergonomically well thoughtout design. Moreover, its elegant appearance impresses.
Neva Trimmed Lounge Chair Lounge-Sessel Manufacturer Artisan, Tešanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina Design Marija Ruzic, Ruder Novak-Mikulic, Zagreb, Croatia Web www.artisan.ba www.regular.agency
This lounge chair is a modern interpretation of the classic Scandinavian armchair, which used to be made by hand in the mid-20th century. Its design aims to conserve the particular character of organic and natural forms. By using computer-aided manufacturing processes, it has, however, been possible to mass-produce even the more complex parts of this lounge chair. In this respect, the production of Neva Trimmed is a balancing act between modern technology and artisanal craft. Statement by the jury Tradition and modernity are impressively combined in the Neva Trimmed lounge chair which appears both timeless and modern.
Stir Armchair Armlehnstuhl Manufacturer Capdell, Valencia, Spain Design Kazuko Okamoto, Milan, Italy Web www.capdell.com
The Stir armchair is characterised by its distinctly light and airy appearance. Made of beech plywood, it has a curved back covered with soft fabric upholstery. Its special feature, however, is its base, whose semi-circular lines reflect the construction of the armrests. Inspired by Okiagari Koboshi dolls, Stir is not firmly anchored to the ground, but gently rocks to and fro. The main focus of the design thereby was on wellbeing. Statement by the jury The Stir armchair represents comfort and relaxation. Its airy construction lends it a playful ethereal quality.
Um den Armlehnstuhl DU möglichst ergonomisch zu bauen, wurde ein menschlicher Körper mit einem 3D-Scanner vermessen. Die gewonnenen Daten dienten als Grundlage für die Gestaltung. So schmiegt sich beispielsweise die Rückenlehne angenehm an den Körper. Hergestellt ist der klassisch anmutende Stuhl aus Walnussholz. Die Sitzschale besteht aus einer Metallkonstruktion und Leder – dank einer speziellen Nähtechnik ist die Naht verborgen. Beine und Sitzschale sind miteinander verschraubt, was für ausreichende Stabilität sorgt.
Split Lounge Chair Lounge-Sessel Manufacturer TON, Bystřice pod Hostýnem, Czech Republic In-house design Arik Levy Web www.ton.eu
The design of the Split lounge chair was inspired by wood-forming technology and its manifold ways of creating shapes. The manually divided and formed solid wood of the substructure offers stability and strength. The upper, upholstered part has a raised back to ensure the seat is comfortable. It is made all the more eye-catching by decorative stitching in a dark contrast colour.
Die Inspirationsquelle für die Gestaltung des Lounge-Sessels Split ist die Technologie des Holzbiegens mit ihren vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der Formgebung. Das manuell geteilte und gebogene Massivholz des Unterbaus bietet Stabilität und Festigkeit. Das obere, gepolsterte Teil ist mit einer erhöhten Rückenlehne ausgestattet, was für Bequemlichkeit sorgt. Auffälliges Merkmal des Lounge-Sessels ist sein orangefarbener Bezugsstoff. Dessen Dominanz wird durch die Ziernaht in einer dunklen Kontrastfarbe noch betont.
Statement by the jury The design of the Split lounge chair wins people over with its craftsmanship. The choice of a strong orange as colour turns it into a noticeable item of furniture. Begründung der Jury Die Gestaltung des Lounge-Sessels Split trumpft mit handwerklichem Können. Die Farbauswahl mit einem kräftigen Orange macht ihn zu einem unübersehbaren Möbel.
Natürliche Strukturen Zur räumlichen Ergänzung des gleichnamigen Restaurants wurde das Blue Lake House in Beijing errichtet. In Anlehnung an eine Naturphilosophie, die bereits beim Hauptgebäude umgesetzt wurde, verwirklicht seine Architektur die Vorstellung einer nahtlosen Einbettung in die Umgebung. Mit dem Ziel, einen mehr privaten, multifunktionalen Ort für Dinner, Partys oder kleinere Verkaufsveranstaltungen zu haben, bietet das Blue Lake House einen 5,80 Meter hohen, offenen Raum. Dessen Erscheinungsbild wird geprägt von einer filigranen Metallstruktur, die den Gebäudehauptkörper sowie das Dach trägt. Inspiriert von den umgebenden Bäumen ist diese Struktur in der Form einer Baumgabelung gestaltet. Die beeindruckende Konstruktion verleiht dem Raum eine fließend organische Anmutung und das Dach scheint förmlich zu schweben. Das Resultat dieser Konzeption ist, dass das Sonnenlicht frei in den Innenraum gelangen kann und dadurch sich mit den Tagesund Jahreszeiten verändernde, subtile Lichtszenarien entstehen. Im Einklang dazu wurden das Interieur und Exterieur des Blue Lake House mit Massivholz verkleidet, um die natürliche Atmosphäre des Raumes zu unterstützen. Ledermöbel, Kunstwerke und eine geschichtsträchtige Ornamentik verstärken das warme Gefühl des Sich-heimisch-Fühlens. Eingebettet in einen Raum aus Ruhe, Natur und Kultur erlebt der Gast Komfort und pure Entspannung.
Statement by the jury The Blue Lake House merges the interior, the exterior and the natural surroundings into a symbiotic unity. Its convincingly simple principal structure was per fectly realised. All details were honed to perfection and give proof of sophistication in taste. The sur roundings and the effect of light are integrated in an exemplary manner. This project aimed at an atmo spherically dense mood – which has been realised to outstanding effect. Begründung der Jury Bei dem Blue Lake House gehen Interieur, Exterieur und die natürliche Umgebung eine symbiotische Verbindung ein. Die bestechend einfache Grundstruktur wurde auf perfekte Weise realisiert. Alle Details sind präzise ausgeführt und zeugen von einem hochentwickelten Geschmack. Die Umgebung und die Wirkung des Lichts werden vorbildlich integriert. Dieses Projekt zielte auf eine atmosphärisch dichte Stimmung ab – dies wurde exzellent umgesetzt.

SIMBULB CLASSIC LED Lamp Series LED-Lampenserie Manufacturer SIM Lighting Design Company Limited, Hong Kong In-house design Chi Keung Yeung Web www.simlighting.com
Starting point for this design was the idea to develop an LED lamp series that combines classic aesthetics with innov ative technology and changes consum ers’ perception of energysaving bulbs. Simbulb Classic bulbs look like tradi tional bulbs but consume only onetenth of the energy. The amber tinted glass creates a vintage look. The lamps have good dimming performance and are available in different designs. The mate rials ensure a long service life and the structure is stable.
Hier bestand die Gestaltungsidee darin, eine LED-Lampenserie zu entwerfen, die eine klassische Ästhetik mit einer innovativen Technologie verbindet und die Wahrnehmung der Verbraucher gegenüber Energiesparlampen verändert. Simbulb Classic sehen aus wie herkömmliche Glühlampen, verbrauchen jedoch nur ein Zehntel an Energie. Ihr bernsteinfarben getöntes Glas erzeugt eine Vintage-Anmutung. Die Lampen sind gut dimmbar und in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen erhältlich. Die Materialien weisen eine lange Lebensdauer auf und die Konstruktion ist stabil.
Statement by the jury This LED lamp series features an entirely autonomous appearance. The innovative product concept is expressed especially in the decorative glass colouring. Begründung der Jury Ein ganz eigenständiges Erscheinungsbild zeigt diese LED-Lampenserie. Das innovative Produktkonzept drückt sich insbesondere in der dekorativen Glasfärbung aus.
LED BR Downlight Range LED-BR-Downlight-Serie Manufacturer Royal Philips, Eindhoven, Netherlands In-house design Philips Design Web www.philips.com
Statement by the jury Classic lines and proven materials under line the versatile functionality of the LED BR Downlight Range.
Begründung der Jury Der Armlehnstuhl DU wird auch hohen Ansprüchen an ergonomisch wohl durchdachtes Design gerecht. Zudem gefällt sein elegantes Erscheinungsbild.
Modern Classic LED Lamp LED-Lampe
Dieser Lounge-Sessel ist eine moderne Interpretation des klassischen skandinavischen, Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts handwerklich gefertigten Sessels. Im Fokus der Gestaltung steht die Bewahrung des besonderen Charakters organischer und natürlicher Formen. Der Einsatz rechnergestützter Herstellungsverfahren ermöglicht es jedoch, auch die komplexen Teile dieses Lounge-Sessels in die Serienproduktion einzuführen. In diesem Sinne ist die Fertigung von Neva Trimmed ein Balanceakt zwischen moderner Technik und Handwerkskunst.
Manufacturer Royal Philips, Eindhoven, Netherlands In-house design Philips Design Web www.philips.com
Begründung der Jury Auf beeindruckende Weise gehen bei dem zeitlos und modern anmutenden LoungeSessel Neva Trimmed Tradition und Moderne Hand in Hand.
LED Candle Lamp Series LED-Kerzenlampen-Serie
Eine betont leichte und luftige Anmutung charakterisiert den Armlehnstuhl Stir, der aus Buchenschichtholz mit einer geschwungenen Rückenlehne sowie einer weichen Stoffpolsterung besteht. Seine Besonderheit ist jedoch der Unterbau, dessen halbkreisförmige Linienführung die Bauweise der Armlehnen widerspiegelt: Inspiriert von Okiagari Koboshi-Puppenfiguren, steht Stir nicht fest auf dem Boden, sondern schaukelt sanft hin und her. Das Hauptaugenmerk der Gestaltung liegt hier vor allem auf dem Aspekt des Wohlfühlens.

universities and people with a high affinity for the latest technologies Sample pages Doing 2016 / 2017 TULIP Feuerring Fireplace and Grill Feuerstelle und Grill
Manufacturer Feuerring GmbH, Immensee, Switzerland
Design Andreas Reichlin, Immensee, Switzerland
Archaic sculpture In many cultures, sitting at an open fire is still synonymous with an atmosphere that promotes conviviality. The TULIP Feuerring presents itself as a fascinating reinterpretation of an archaic fireplace. It is made of untreated steel in the shape of a bowl with an inner ring that serves as a grill. Adopting the appearance of a sculpture, it exudes both sturdiness and a sense of tranquillity. The outer bowl is cold-formed and allowed to rust so that it becomes characterised with use over time, developing a particular appearance that further underlines the archaic appeal of the bowl. Using a special welding technique, the grill ring is connected seamlessly to the bowl. This prevents any deformation due to temperature differences and guarantees perfect heat distribution. The intermediate bottom presents a further innovation. It entails that the fire is always set at a visible level and eliminates the need to wait for the embers to glow. Instead, it ensures slow indirect barbecuing with temperature zones from 150 to 300 degrees, while still allowing users to enjoy the look and warmth of a burning fire. Based on a convincing symbiosis of form and material, the TULIP Feuerring emerged with a design that is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, and creates a relaxing atmosphere of warmth and sociability.

Archaische Skulptur In vielen Kulturen steht das offene Feuer auch heute noch für eine besondere, gemeinschaftsfördernde Atmosphäre. Der TULIP Feuerring stellt hier eine faszinierende Neuinterpretation der archaischen Feuerstelle dar. Geformt ist er aus unbehandeltem Stahl als Schale mit einem inneren Ring, der zum Grillen dient. Er wirkt wie eine Skulptur, die Kraft und Leichtigkeit gleichermaßen ausstrahlt. Die äußere Schale wird kalt in Form gedrückt, bereits angerostet, setzt sie mit der Zeit und im Laufe ihres Gebrauchs eine ganz eigene Patina an, was ihre archaische Anmutung noch unterstreicht. Der Grillring wird dank eines speziellen Schweißverfahrens nahtlos mit der Schale verbunden. Dies verhindert Deformationen durch Temperaturunterschiede und gewährleistet eine perfekte Hitzeverteilung. Eine weitere Innovation ist der Zwischenboden. Er bewirkt, dass sich das Feuer immer in sichtbarer Höhe befindet und macht es zudem unnötig, auf die optimale Glut warten zu müssen. Vielmehr wird es möglich, bei Temperaturen zwischen 150 und 300 Grad schonend indirekt zu grillen, wobei sich aber trotzdem stets die lodernde Flamme genießen lässt. Mit einer funktionalen wie ästhetischen Gestaltung, die durch ihre eindringliche Symbiose von Form und Material besticht, schafft der TULIP Feuerring ein angenehmes Ambiente von Wärme und Geselligkeit.
Statement by the jury The design of the TULIP Feuerring takes up the symbolism of archaic fireplaces in a fascinating manner. It impresses with a compact and purist design idiom matched with a high degree of user-friendliness. The TULIP Feuerring is functional, durable and lends itself ideally for use as a grill. It conveys a sense of homely cosiness and possesses a high aesthetic quality that underlines the appeal of its beautiful surfaces.

The F38 leather suitcase makes it possible to transport two suits, crease-free, in your carry-on luggage. It is constructed in such a way that the two main causes of creasing – compression and too tight a radius – are eliminated. The content of the suitcase can be accessed from the top, which also makes it very practical in use, e.g. as sponge bags can quickly be taken out for airport security checks. The F38 can be packed and unpacked like a hanging wardrobe or while lying flat. It comes equipped with a pullout handle which includes a bag.
Mithilfe des Lederkoffers F38 lassen sich zwei Anzüge knitterfrei im Handgepäck transportieren. Er ist so konstruiert, dass Druck und ein zu enger Radius, die beiden vornehmlichen Ursachen für Faltenbildung, verhindert werden. Praktisch ist der Zugriff auf das Innere des Koffers von oben. So kann etwa die Kulturtasche für den Security Check schnell entnommen werden. Der F38 kann sowohl als Kleiderregal hängend als auch liegend be- und entpackt werden. Er ist zudem mit einem Ausziehgriff mit integrierter Tasche ausgestattet.

and anyone with a passion for the cultural aspect of design Sample pages Working 2016 / 2017 CleanSpace Ultra Respirator Atemschutzmaske
Manufacturer PAFtec Australia Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia
In-house design Alexander Virr
Form for safety Respiratory masks are used in many industrial areas to protect workers from inhaling harmful dust and gases in the air. Respiratory contaminants are the leading cause of long-term occupational health issues. The CleanSpace Ultra was developed against the backdrop that respiratory protection design has hardly changed over the past 25 years. The aim was to combine the convenience of a negative pressure mask with the assured protection and comfort of a powered respirator. Weighing only 520 grams, this lightweight mask was developed by biomedical engineers who have miniaturised the core components to encase them in a compact ergonomic device. Thanks to this efficient design, the disadvantages of traditional respiratory masks, such as bulkiness and the obstruction of dangling hoses and belts, could be eliminated. Featuring an elegant design idiom, the CleanSpace Ultra delivers very good on-demand airflow thanks to the proprietary AirSensit system. The respiratory mask is intuitive to wear and durable at low total operating costs. It is thus especially suitable for high-volume deployment and high adoption by work teams in large industrial companies and in remote sites where close training and technical support cannot always be ensured. Balancing functionality with highly advanced ergonomics, the mask thus results in improved respiratory protection – its distinctively elegant appearance yields a high level of acceptance and longterm compliance among workers.

Form für die Sicherheit Atemschutzmasken werden in vielen industriellen Bereichen genutzt, in denen gesundheitsschädliche Gase oder Stäube entstehen. Schadstoffe in der Luft sind der Hauptgrund für langwierige berufsbedingte Beeinträchtigungen. Die CleanSpace Ultra wurde vor dem Hintergrund entworfen, dass sich das Design von Atemschutzmasken in den vergangenen 25 Jahren kaum verändert hat. Das Ziel war es, die Zweckmäßigkeit einer Unterdruck-Maske mit dem Schutz und Komfort einer gebläseunterstützten Version zu kombinieren. Diese mit einem Gewicht von nur 520 Gramm sehr leichte Maske wurde von biomedizinischen Ingenieuren entwickelt, wobei die Kernkomponenten verkleinert und in ein kompaktes, ergonomisches Gehäuse eingebaut wurden. Durch diese effiziente Gestaltung konnten die Nachteile traditioneller Atemschutzmasken wie etwa umständlich anhängende Schläuche und Gürtel umgangen werden. Die CleanSpace Ultra weist eine elegante Formensprache auf und bietet aufgrund des proprietären AirSensit-Systems einen sehr guten Bedarfsluftstrom. Sie lässt sich intuitiv bedienen und ist langlebig bei geringen Gesamtbetriebskosten. Diese Atemschutzmaske eignet sich deshalb insbesondere für den Einsatz in großen industriellen Betrieben und an dezentralen Standorten, wo eine eingehende Schulung sowie technische Unterstützung nur bedingt sichergestellt werden können. Durch ihre Funktionalität im Einklang mit einer hochentwickelten Ergonomie trägt sie zu einem verbesserten Atemschutz bei – ihre einprägsame Eleganz führt zu hoher Regelkonformität und Akzeptanz bei den Anwendern.
Statement by the jury Fundamentally questioning the form and function of a respiratory mask made the design of the CleanSpace Ultra emerge with an entirely new construction approach that combines many advantages. Its design idiom impressively embodies design of the 21st century. Equipped with the well thought-out AirSensit system, the mask delivers the highest degree of wearing comfort and ergonomics. This respiratory mask sets new standards for the safety of its users.

Manufacturer F.-Martin Steifensand Büromöbel GmbH, Freystadt-Rettelloh, Germany Design Justus Kolberg, Hamburg, Germany Web www.original-steifensand.de
Anteo Alu combines aesthetics with ergonomic comfort. The high backrest lends the chair a distinctive silhouette, which is additionally emphasised by the aluminium frame construction. Manufactured from high-quality materials and cover fabrics such as leather, Tube, Network or SlimLine, the office chair offers a variety of design options to adapt to individual seating requirements. To expand its ergonomic functionality, it can be equipped with the Köhl Air-Seat. This allows multidimensional micro-movements, better providing the intervertebral discs with nutrients and stimulating the low-laying back muscles.
The Monico office chair range was designed as a flexible modular system, combining a clear form language and sophisticated functions for individual sitting. The heart of the system is the backrest with its Y-shaped brace and curved form. It has a technical appeal, yet with its curves and smooth transitions, is also highly aesthetic. All other components such as the sitting mechanisms, armrests, seats and star bases can be combined individually depending on personal comfort requirements.
Die Bürostuhlfamilie Monico wurde als flexibler Baukasten konzipiert und verbindet eine klare Formensprache mit ausgereifter Funktion für individuelles Sitzen. Herzstück ist die Rückenlehne mit Y-förmiger Spange und gebogener Lehne. Sie mutet technisch an, wirkt durch Rundungen und fließende Übergänge aber ebenso ästhetisch. Die weiteren Komponenten wie Sitzmechaniken, Armlehnen, Sitze oder Fußkreuze lassen sich beliebig nach den jeweiligen Komfortansprüchen kombinieren.
Statement by the jury The combination of a simple aesthetic design and high functionality makes this office chair series elegant and practical.
Begründung der Jury Die Kombination aus schlichter ästhetischer Formgebung und hoher Funktionalität macht diese Bürostuhlfamilie elegant und praktikabel.
The dynamically designed Coza supports a flexible work environment. It fulfils the increasing demands on ergonomic conference chairs and offers high comfort without the need for manual adjustment. Its visual impact is based on a single line – an organic ribbon that sweeps from under the seat and over the arm and backrests. The result is a slim, sophisticated form adapting to the human body.
Der dynamisch gestaltete Coza unterstützt ein flexibles Arbeitsumfeld. Er wird den steigenden Anforderungen an ergonomische Konferenzstühle gerecht und bietet hohen Komfort, ohne dass manuelle Verstellmöglichkeiten nötig sind. Seine visuelle Wirkung beruht auf einer einzigen Linie – einer organischen Schleife, die unterhalb des Sitzes beginnt und über die Armlehnen und die Rückenlehne gezogen ist. Ergebnis ist eine schlanke, raffinierte Form, die sich dem menschlichen Körper anpasst.
Statement by the jury The design of the Anteo Alu is characterised by classic, elegant forms, satisfying ergonomic demands. Anteo Alu verbindet Ästhetik mit ergonomischem Sitzkomfort. Die hohe Rückenlehne schafft eine markante Silhouette, die durch die Alu-Rahmenkonstruktion zusätzlich hervorgehoben wird. Hergestellt aus hochwertigen Materialien und Bezugsstoffen wie Leder, Tube, Network oder SlimLine, weist der Bürostuhl eine Vielzahl an Variationsmöglichkeiten auf, die sich an individuelle Sitzbedürfnisse anpassen lassen. Um die ergonomische Funktionalität zu erweitern, ist die Ausstattung mit dem Köhl Air-Seat möglich. Dies erlaubt mehrdimensionale Bewegungen im Sitzen, sodass die Bandscheiben besser mit Nährstoffen versorgt werden und die tiefer liegende Rückenmuskulatur stimuliert wird. Begründung der Jury Die Gestaltung des Anteo Alu zeichnet sich durch eine klassische, elegante Formgebung aus, die gleichzeitig ergonomischen Ansprüchen genügt.

Manufacturer Clou BV, Nuth, Netherlands
Design René Holten, Maastricht, Netherlands
Sculpture for the senses The origins of secular bathing culture can be traced back to antiquity where it defined a vital aspect of wellness in people’s lives. The design of the freestanding two-person Hammock bathtub stages bathing in a comparable manner. Its well-balanced, sculptural design language emerges from the exterior, showcasing clear lines of geometrically rectangular appeal, while the smooth and almost organic-looking interior invites users to enter and relax. Hammock is made from white acrylic and generously sized with a length of 200 cm, a width of 140 cm and a depth of 50 cm. Designed as a duo bath, it offers enough space for two persons to conveniently lie down side by side. Hammock is equipped with a stop-and-go plug as well as an elongated, slender overflow that offer sophisticated functionality. The matched elegant Kaldur mixer tap also stands out thanks to its gently curved form, symbiotically complementing the bathtub itself. Kaldur is made from polished chrome and features a coloured showerhead with soft-touch finish that attracts the eye, rests well in the hand and is particularly pleasing to the touch. The mixer tap thus emerges almost like a freestanding high-rise next to the bath. In an impressive manner, the design of this duo bath elevates the notion of wellness to the next level. The visually aesthetic play of water is skilfully reflected in the use of premium-quality materials.

microsonic This guidance system is conceived to visualise the paths and destinations at the new headquarters of microsonic, a company specialised in ultrasonic sensor technology. It was realised by using a clear typography with a distinct signpost function. Letters are used to create memorable images, striking initials replace long-winded room names. Employees and customers are thus offered a more distinctive approach to finding their way around the building. The graphic design concept effectively sets the scene for special architectural features such as the transparency of the building.
The challenge in developing the wayfinding and identity signage for the Whitney Museum of American Art was to extend the brand with enough restraint to keep the museum environment simple, elegant and timeless while not competing with the art. Whitney’s “Responsive W” logo is used as a graphic element to create a unique visual idiom for the wayfinding program. A flexible typographic grid is based on this logo, consisting of graphics that incorporate arrows, which act as “containers” for directional information. The monochromatic colour palette is based on black, grey and white, while the type plays a secondary and complementary role.

Design x Taipei [Event & Exhibition Poster]
[Event & Exhibition Poster]
The aim of the poster was to provoke reflections on the issue of design and the urban environment in Taiwan. Following the assumption that the look of a city basically depends on the prevailing ideology, a portrait of Chiang Kai-shek, who was the long-standing political leader of the Republic of China, dominates the composition. The silhouette of the politician’s head is embedded in a dazzling array of Taiwanese advertisements. In their highly dense yet vivid design, they epitomise the hustle and bustle of an Asian metropolis.
The ancient Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms based on the exact astronomical positions of the sun and moon. Many of the most important traditional festivals in China are also related to natural conditions and the cycle of the year. The poster intends to raise awareness for these cultural traditions and to create respect for nature, which every individual is a part of. Aesthetically combining intricate and large images as well as font elements, the artist’s language reflects both the fragility and the power of nature.

ENTIA LOHB’s
Piano Tiles 2
All But Me
[Cosmetics Packaging]
[Cosmetics Packaging]
[Mobile Game]
[Mobile Game]
This South Korean cosmetics line is a medical product enriched with three oriental extracts to keep the skin hydrated. The design of the container’s cap and shoulders was inspired by the shape and colour of a Korean hat called a “got”, while its body is delicately expressed with harmonious gradations of green. For the graphic design of the container, a vertical layout was used to create an oriental impression, while the bottom of the case features a comb pattern found on traditional Korean doors. Overall, the product exudes an impression of Korean sensibility.
ENTIA LOHB’s is a colour-therapy brand that suggests an effective solution to various skin problems through an original approach. The packaging concept differentiates seven skincare lines by combining nature’s three essential shades of light and four primary colours, with the stages of chromaticity overlapping. Nature’s mysterious colour combinations occurring during sunrise and sunset, as well as horizontal lines, were applied as gradients for the design motifs. The colour palette is eye-catching, and the logo and icons on the front are designed in keeping with the digital signs, attracting a target group in their twenties and thirties. The packaging employs a new material recently spotlighted for its excellent stability, protecting the contents and enhancing its recyclability, while also focusing on a smart brand design with better usability.
Piano Tiles 2 is a free single-player game for Android or iOS. When the player taps the black tiles which run across the smartphone screen at different speeds and act as virtual keys, piano sounds are created. When touching white tiles, an off-tune note signals the end of the game. Fine motor skills, speed and a sense of rhythm are required. The sequel of the easily comprehensible game contains a new selection of tunes ranging from classical music to “Jingle Bells” and a gameplay which encourages social network sharing.
The objective of this mobile game is to steer a spaceship through the universe by initiating thrusters at the right time and to save energy while finding one’s way through the stars. The difficultto-manoeuvre ship leaves a fine linear trace on the screen. The graphic concept effectively highlights the tininess of the manned vehicle in relation to the wide expanses of space. “All But Me” offers an aesthetically pleasing gaming experience along with strategic challenges – there are only a few inhabited planets that provide options to refuel and trade.

Optic DCA Design, Team Lead: Richard PRICE, United Kingdom Mobility
Optic gives cyclists the visual information to make safer decisions on the road by integrating a heads-up display, front and rear cameras and 360-degree proximity and collision detection. This allows users to focus on the road ahead with full awareness of their surroundings and any potential risks. Cycling as a sport, fitness activity and general mode of transport is constantly increasing in popularity with more people taking to the roads every year. Roads are becoming more congested especially in urban environments and this can make cycling a more difficult task. The ability to analyse and react to a situation relies on a cyclist being fully aware of his or her surroundings. Optic gives cyclist the peace of mind to make the right decisions on the road, with total awareness and a full understanding of personal progression. This device provides cyclists with the visual information to make safer decisions and avoid potentially dangerous road situations by integrating front and rear cameras with 360-degree proximity and collision detection. The act of wearing an obvious camera when cycling was the key driver for the aesthetic of the camera feature on the rear of the helmet. Highlighting the raised lens detail and the proximity sensor ensures that any approaching drivers know their actions are being recorded.
VM Desk
Kosmos
Sergey GOTVYANSKY,
Design: Christoph BOHRER, Alexander SCHMITKE, Martin WAGNER,
With Kosmos, the aim was to create the most beautiful pen for everyday life. Every detail and function was considered to create a unique magnetic pen mechanism, which hides and reveals the ball cartridge by moving the front bush parts back and forth.
Germany
The word “cosmos” refers to an empty room with the potential for creations – like a pen with an empty sheet of paper. We see the brain as a cosmos with billions of connections and elements. Within this room lies the ability to create something extraordinary, only with the support of thoughts. A sparkling idea – the Big Bang – can be put down on paper with a pen to strike new paths and create something new. This cosmos is reflected in the design of this writing instrument.
Ukraine Furniture
Sergey GOTVYANSKY
Thanks to the special bag-organiser, this desk always makes sure everything is at hand. Quite often, we carry the same set of things with us all day—perhaps a notebook, a set of markers, a cell phone, laptop or tablet. We lay them out on the desk in the morning, and gather them back into a bag by the end of the day. For this purpose, the VM Desk is designed with a portable organiser that saves us from unnecessary movements, saves time, and prevents us from leaving important things behind.
The organiser for the desk is essentially a bag that the user can take along anywhere. It is made of leather with two wooden handles and a built-in magnetic closure. While working at the desk, the handles sit like two rails resting on two extended arms at the side of the desk. Everything one needs is at arm’s reach and the bag-organiser can rest in an open or closed state. The desk itself has a simple folding design. The table legs function like two self-supporting foldable props, on which the tabletop is securely placed via the recesses under the tabletop and fixed by with two screws. When the desk is disassembled, it takes up very little space. It can even be flat-packed to enable ease of transportation.
Sergey Gotvyansky (born in 1981 in Dnipro, Ukraine) graduated from The Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture in 2004. In 2008, he founded Nottdesign Studio with Alexandr Gotvyansky. Operating on the border between architecture and design, the design duo creates simple and functional homes, interiors and objects that are produced with high quality materials. When developing products and design solutions, the studio loves to explore sustainable materials and technologies.
Workplace
Sergey Gotvyansky’s design philosophy is “design is logic and simplicity”.

The bush parts appear to levitate over the shank and hold in position by balanced forces. Shifting the bush parts back and forth reveals or hides the ball pen cartridge. In order to realise this intuitive design, every detail and function of writing utensils was questioned. The result is a unique mechanism based on magnetic principles, which gives the pen different appearances in the writing and
the idle position. A universal pattern of nature perfects this minimalist design – the golden ratio, which is applied in the proportions of the pen and its packaging. A very robust and light aluminium alloy was chosen to ensure durability and a comfortable writing experience with continuous use. The matte surface provides a better grip and prevents fingerprints. A wear-free mechanism gives an instant visual feedback as to whether the pen is in writing or idle position. The small selection of pen colours will suit the personal preference of creators. Kosmos is the pen rewritten.
The visor doubles as a heads-up display where Optic live-streams the rear camera and highlights potential risks. This allows the user to focus on the road ahead with full awareness of their surroundings. Cyclists are able to customise the heads-up display to monitor the information they need for their specific journey. The display options include: a live stream of the rear camera, a proximity dot-matrix or gauge to show the distance of approaching hazards, augmented reality route navigation and journey statistic interfaces.
as well as a diversity of other industrial products. The industrial design team is full of idiosyncrasies, each person completing the other and bringing out his or her individual skills. The young spirit of the team leads to a deep understanding of modern society and its needs for innovative creations. The studio is always equipped with a focus on creating visually appealing products with clear lines, aesthetics and form language; attributes like emotions, function and innovation are of utmost importance in the design process. Every design starts with an empty sheet of paper and every project ends each time with a creative solution. Inspiration comes from nature, science and other areas that help create a simplified everyday life. With this in mind, the studio creates long-lasting products that will benefit consumers and users.

The Google Self-Driving Car drives itself with the push of a button and represents a completely new form of transportation. The Google Self-Driving Car relies on a network of sensors and cameras distributed around the exterior to perceive the world. Such a new paradigm of vehicular technology produces a new set of requirements, around which a new vehicular exterior form and language emerges. The prototype’s distinctive silhouette is an honest expression of an exterior geometry that allows the sensors to see every inch of pavement surrounding its bumpers, and up to two football fields ahead, detecting objects well before a human driver could. The prototype does not look like a normal car, and it is not used like one either. Its simple and elegant form embodies this new technology in a way that is friendly and approachable. The interior experience is completely re-examined. The design is optimised for passengers and pedestrians, and not for the driver. When no one is driving, there is no need for a steering wheel or pedals. The cabin is entirely symmetrical, spacious, and illuminated by panoramic windows that draw the passengers’ attention to the outside world.

The design language aims to differentiate Optic from the streamlined, aggressive aesthetic of conventional helmets. It integrates a retractable visor, which once opened, creates visual alignment with the cap and other details on the helmet to visually reinforce the functional aspects of the design. Optic is the visionary approach to safe cycling.

The materials and colours used in the vehicle are chosen to evoke a sense of cleanliness, comfort, and functionality. The exterior body is made from a carbon fibre material that is lightweight and strong. More importantly, safety is a priority in the prototype’s design. The entire front exterior of the vehicle is designed for pedestrian safety and comprises a soft foam that absorbs the energy of an impact; the windshield is made from a flexible polycarbonate to prevent head injuries. Pedestrians are alerted to the presence of the vehicle by an intentionally audible whirring noise, which propagates from the vehicle as it drives.
Google Inc. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in September 1998. Since then, the company has grown to include more than 50,000 employees worldwide and a wide range of popular products and platforms such as Search, Maps, Ads, Gmail, Android, Chrome, and YouTube. In October 2015, Alphabet became the parent holding company of Google. The Google Self-Driving Car Project is working to develop fully self-driving vehicles that have the potential to make roads safer and increase mobility for the millions of people who cannot drive. The ultimate goal is to help people get from A to B at the push of a button. In the project’s seven-year history, the vehicles in the test fleet have self-driven over 1.7 million miles on public roads, and Google has launched a testing program in Mountain View, CA, Austin, TX, Kirkland, WA and Phoenix, AZ.

There is no driveshaft in the centre of the cabin floor, resulting in a low and flat floor that produces a spacious interior. Sitting in this vehicle is a uniquely refreshing experience. The dashboard is not populated with an instrument panel or controls. Instead, it is positioned to offer plenty of legroom. Embedded in the dashboard is a large panoramic display that communicates what the vehicle is seeing, what it is surrounded by, and how it is responding to objects, cars, cyclists and pedestrians on the road. This visual feature provides a comforting assurance to passengers that the vehicle can see and sense far ahead of the passengers.

Education
PAPIER - MACHINE is a book that comes with 12 electronic toys made out of paper. Each toy explains several electronic principles. PAPIER - MACHINE is a book collection of twelve electronic toys made out of paper – all meant to be cut, drawn, folded, built and destroyed. Each toy explains one or several electronic principles. All the toys are working prototypes. They are silkscreened on paper with silver, carbon, cadmium and thermo-chromic ink. PAPIER - MACHINE is the result of an impossible quest to make all the existing electronics components out of paper and specific inks. Its objective is to show the chemical and physical principles of electronic components as something beyond “magical”. The five toys in the book are:

1. Pinball for two players: The objective is to make the opponent’s colour disappear. Steel marbles are thrown to close the correct circuit. When the circuit is closed, the thermo-chromic ink disappears. The game is over when one of the colours has completely disappeared.
4. A “toboggan” for steel marbles: The silver printed circuit could be augmented with the graphite from a pencil. Each time the marble closes the circuit by touching the hatches, a sound is produced. The circuit is now a partition, and the steel marble is a reader head.
2. Playing a piano by blowing on it: The speaker here is made with printed silver conductive ink and a simple magnet. Different shapes of resistant ink create different sounds when one blows on them.
5. Half bed-light, half hovercraft. The vehicle lights switches on and moves when the captor detects obscurity. The light sensor on the surface of the object is made with yellow cadmium ink.
3. Target working with papier mâché: When moisture is detected on the whole surface, the different thermo-chromatic ink zones are switched on.
ENSCI - Les Ateliers, Les Ateliers-ENSCI was founded in 1982 under the joint authority of the Ministries of Culture and Industry. It is the only French state-funded advanced education institute specialising in industrial design. The School only offers degrees at master’s level, such as the integrated industrial design master’s programme; the postgraduate textile design programme; a master’s track for non-French-speaking candidates; a double degree programme in design and engineering, marketing and science; and two professional postgraduate programmes in Design and Contemporary Technology (CtC) and Innovation by Design (IbD) for non-designers.
Les Ateliers-ENSCI is a founding member of the HeSam Universités Pole of Research and Education Excellence. This Paris-based, interdisciplinary academic cluster boasts 13 of the most prestigious institutions. Les Ateliers is also a founding partner of the MEDes (Master of European Design), a joint intercultural programme created by 6 top-ranking European institutions: Glasgow School of Art, Aalto University, Milan Politecnico, KISD, Konstfack and Les Ateliers. The programme extends beyond Europe to include industrial partnership seminars with Chiba University.
The School works with a large number of industrial and institutional partners and the students experience professional practice first hand. All students gain experience abroad and the School’s international network includes some of the world’s most reputed design institutions and companies. In the heart of Paris, near the Bastille, Les Ateliers occupies a vast loft space open 24/24, all year round. Les Ateliers is not only a design school but also an innovative education project to provide an optimum learning context for a new generation of designers who are applying creativity and innovation across an ever-increasing range of fields, partnerships and everyday practices.

Red Dot Design Yearbooks
are real-time chronicles of
the latest design developments in product design. As such, older editions are veritable showcases of design history and, in publication since 1991, span over more than two decades. Observing product design over time is vital for anyone seeking to understand the nature of design trends, e.g., product designers or purchasing managers from retail who are responsible for developing, launching, marketing, and selling products. Design historians, university professors, and libraries are also among the main target clientele in terms of collecting. Our tip to design professionals: Start your collection of Red Dot Design Yearbooks now! And, watch your collection grow, year by year, edition by edition. As chronicles of our time, the yearbooks brim with documentation on the latest must-have and nice-to-have products. They also serve as lifestyle guides and indispensable reference works.
International Yearbook Communication Design and Red Dot Design Concept Yearbook
Design professionals
not only need to stay abreast of the latest
trends in design, they also need to observe and examine trends in a cross-inspirational context over time. Red Dot has been publishing its International Yearbook Communication Design since 2006, and the Red Dot Design Concept Yearbook since 2005. We encourage all design professionals, and especially those from communication design, to engage in the rewarding experience of collecting the International Yearbook Communication Design on an annual basis. Product designers, for their part, are invited to “make a contract with the future” by collecting the Design Concept yearbooks, which predict promising trends in product design. The idea is not simply to collect these works for the sake of owning them, but to develop a culture of observing design over time and on an ongoing basis.
Backlist Red Dot Edition www.red-dot-shop.com
In the following
pages, the Red Dot backlist is presented. Our main
publications are the yearbooks, which champion the world’s best achievements in design for a given year. These are published for product design, communication design, and design concepts respectively. In keeping with founder and CEO of Red Dot, Professor Dr Peter Zec’s belief that “communication needs design,” each yearbook is a creative product in and of itself that incorporates the design spirit of its time. The design catalogs are thus visually appealing, not to mention fun! In addition to high-resolution photographs and sophisticated layout, they also contain detailed product descriptions and interviews with acclaimed designers. With our other books, Red Dot engages in contemporary discourse on design.
