The German Design Award honors innovative products and projects, their manufacturers and designers who are groundbreaking in the German and international design landscape. This is guaranteed by the top-class, international jury. The German Design Award discovers and presents unique design trends: a competition that promotes the design-oriented economy.
The German Design Award is presented by the Rat für Formgebung, the German brand and design authority. Founded as a foundation in 1953 on the initiative of the German Bundestag, it supports businesses in consistently achieving added brand value through design. This makes the Rat für Formgebung one of the world’s leading competence centers for communication and brand management in the field of design.
911 Turbo S Exclusive Series mobile phone holder
For the design, development and production of the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series mobile phone holder, we were awarded the German Design Award for “Excellent Product Design” in the “Computer and Communication” category in 2018.
Description
A truly unique piece: For the launch of the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series, a high-quality box containing the vehicle catalog and a carbon cell phone holder will be sent. The 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series impresses with its craftsmanship, attention to detail and selected materials. These themes are also taken up with the mobile phone holder: the same quality and material that can be found in the interior of the vehicle. Carbon – crossed by a gold-colored metal thread.
Jury statement
The mobile phone holder, made of extremely high-quality carbon – as is also found in the interior of the 911 Turbo S – perfectly embodies the luxury brand’s claim to sporty elegance and quality.
911 GT2 RS helmet case
For the design, development and production of the 911 GT2 RS helmet case, we were awarded the German Design Award for “Excellent Product Design” in the “Transportation” category in 2018.
Description
Gift from a single source: When you pick up the 911 GT2 RS, you will be given a helmet case made exclusively for the car and based on the design of the vehicle. The most impressive 911 of all time was built for the race track, which is why its buyers often wear a helmet. Many design elements are based on the original. Particularly striking: the centerlock, which serves as a closure. Porsche lettering and emblem complete the custom-made product.
Jury statement
The idea of a high-quality helmet case as a gift is a beautiful and exclusive gesture and perfectly underlines the sporting demands of the racing car.
Annette Bach and Norman Mascher-Aspensjoe receive the awards. The award ceremony for the German Design Award 2018 took place on February 9, 2018 as part of Ambiente in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
