What is the Red Dot Award?

The Red Dot Award has provided for over 60 years a platform for designers and companies to assess good design. The products that enter into the competition are tested and judged by an expert jury in search of the very best in design and innovation. Lasting several days, the jurors test all the entries in order to assess the aesthetic, the materials selected, the level of craftsmanship, the surface structure, ergonomics and functionality. After long discussions together, they decide on the design quality of the products, with only the best designs receiving an award.
