“red dot is recognised throughout the world as a leading authority on design and internationally it’s a huge acclaim for us.”

“For us, it is the first time that we received the red dot design award and of course, we want to advertise and use it for the marketing of our company.”

“I think it is the main award in the world. I’ve always heard it is among the top. For me it is the top, not because we did win, but I think, it is done in a way that is absolutely unique and perfect.”

“I think the award will give us tailwind. Internally for our company as well as externally.“

“It’s been fantastic for us because it is a recognition of a lot of hard work and we’re very pleased of such astute designers from around the world who have chosen us as one of the winners this year.”

“For a long time, red dot is an award for well-done design that is already accepted on the market. It really is an honour, if a product is awarded a red dot.”

“It means that others like your products and also that our clients can make some press announcements and get some publicity around different countries because red dot is very well known around the world.”

“We applied to win a wonderful prestigious international design award like the red dot, which means a lot to both of us. I think it’s a forward looking organisation. That’s why so many people apply.”

“The red dot design award is one of the most prestigious, one of the most renown design awards in the world. And that’s why we tried to get in there and it worked. It’s very international and it’s all about design.”

“I guess, winning “best of the best” means hopefully our product is a best of the best product and it was innovative and new and different. The red dot is really special. It’s something that we really wanted to try and let the world know.”

“To be a part of this award is really a great experience for me. I think the red dot design award is known as the Nobel Prize within design awards. It’s so great that so many kinds of different nationalities are getting together here.”

“For us, it’s been a recognition of a lot of very hard work for a lot of people at the Bose Corporation. It has been hard for us to be recognized for this work over the years. So, it’s very important to us.”

“It means a lot for the product but also for me as a designer. For me, it’s like saying that my work is really good.”

“For us as a down-to-earth manufacturer of office furniture and service provider in Lower Saxony, it is of course a special honour that we have received this beautiful award after so many years of product development and that we move up and can address other target groups.”

Paul Flowers, Grohe: “It’s a very important award because “design team of the year” is not just an accolade regarding product design. It’s an accolade about people. So, we’re very, very proud collectively as a team. We’re very proud about this evening. We’re very excited.”
Steve Leung, Steve Leung Designers: “It is always the most important, influential and sought-after award all over the design industry. And the “Radius” challenge cup given to the design team of the year is the best of the best.”

“It’s an important award because we are a very small company and I think it’s a big jump for us.”

“As the largest design competition in the world, the red dot design award has worked for a great standing. It is more and more observed and so we can also bring it to our clients: They recognise the logo, they recognise the red dot and this is something that we can use for advertising.”

“The whole red dot world is not only pushing designers, it’s also pushing industry and quality. So, it’s an important thing. I think it’s the most international award in the world. red dot is not only a European or a German phenomenon, it’s a worldwide thing.”
