The competition is only open to entries that have been nominated by the German Design Councils’ expert committee. Those nominated for the German Design Award have already managed to successfully set themselves apart from the masses and are subsequently entitled to compete with the finest in the field of product design. Therefore, the nomination in itself already is a distinction.

It proves that the continuous improvements of our product design resonates with current consumer trends and that our systems are real eye-catchers in every branch.”
