The coveted “Interzum award: intelligent material & design” will be presented at Interzum (May 25-28). With submissions from a total of 19 countries, the design prize is more international than ever before.
Ten years ago Koelnmesse launched the “interzum award: intelligent material & design” in cooperation with red dot projects. As always, this year’s international jury was of the highest calibre, including architect and designer Prof. Masayo Ave from Japan/Germany, designer Martin Bergmann from Austria, interior designer Prof. Danny Venlet of Belgium, publisher Sergey Shustov of Russia and red dot design award initiator Dr Peter Zec from Germany. Together, they had to select the best products from all those submitted, which had been divided into three categories. The result: 8 awarded “best of the best” and 35 awarded “high product quality” status.
This year a total of 208 products from 124 companies in 19 different countries were submitted, which is a new record.
