REDDOT
DESIGN AWARD
WINNER 2015
Swap has won the Red Dot Design Award. This
design award is one of the most important and
long-lived in the world. It has been granted since
1955 to reward the best products created by
designers and manufacturers anywhere on the
planet. Its international prestige makes it one
of the most famous acknowledgements that a
product, from any sector, can obtain, due to its
design and quality.
The organisation of the Red Dot Design Award
(carried out by Design Zentrum Nordrhein
Westfalen) calls international specialists from
many different design areas to form part of the
jury for these awards. This group of renowned
experts meets in Germany for 4 days to assess
the samples of the candidate products in situ
and choose the best from out of thousands of
participants from all the continents.
Those selected receive their award at an annual
gala of the Red Dot Design Awards and form
part of the temporary exhibition that the Red Dot
museum exhibits every year in Essen (Germany).
The winning products of the Red Dot Design
Award obtain the right to promote themselves
with the Red Dot label throughout their entire
commercial lifecycle, as a mark and guarantee
of it being an excellent product from the design
and quality perspective.
