Breaking! SOLUM has been awarded with the Red Dot Product Design Award for the second time!

Thank you very much for selecting SOLUM to receive the Reddot Product Design Award 2020!

SOLUM has been announced as one of the Red Dot Product Design Award winners of 2020 for its outstanding NEWTON retail product line, which has been unveiled to the public at this year´s NRF. It is the second time that SOLUM has won this prestigious award after securing the honor in 2017.

 

In its origins, the Red Dot Award: Product Design has been finding the year’s best products since 1955. From fashion to consumer electronics, vehicles, medical technology and furniture – manufacturers and designers can submit their industrial products in 49 categories at present.

The products, brands, communication projects and concepts entered in the Red Dot Award are evaluated by a jury. It is comprised of independent designers, design professors and specialized journalists who have committed to a “Code of Honor”: They can neither be employed by an industrial manufacturing company nor participate in the adjudication of designs in which they were involved.

 

This prevents any situation in which the members of the Red Dot Jury assess their own achievements or those of direct competitors. The evaluation is carried out directly on the entries, live and on site. They are not in competition with each other. Instead, they are tested, discussed and assessed individually. Depending on the competition, the adjudication process is based on a range of criteria that are constantly adapted to current standards.

"In my role as Design Group Leader of SOLUM, I want to thank all those who made this award possible: our colleagues, partners, friends, and most importantly, our clients! This recognition is another example of the great support that all of you have given us throughout the past.

Finally, I also would like to thank the Red Dot jury for bestowing us with this honor once again! We look forward to serving our valued customers by further pushing the boundaries of innovation, creativity, and technology for retailing in this digital age!" -Oscar Cho, Design Group Leader
