We are proud to announce that we have received the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021, one of the most prestigious design awards in the world. The international jury has awarded the distinction “Red Dot” to the motorised DS-XL® LED System, which stands for high design quality.
The award is only awarded by an international jury to products with an excellent design. With the motorised DS-XL® LED system, we won this globally recognised award in the Product Design category, the category for the most qualitative and innovative product designs. “We are therefore extremely proud of the fact that the international jury of Red Dot recognizes our design with this award. It is the highest international recognition for the time and attention that we have put into the design,” said Bertwin ten Have, head of R&D of Forest Group.
The Red Dot Award: Product Design dates back as far as 1955 and recognizes the best products for a given year. The roughly 50 jurors were once again true to the motto “In search of good design and innovation” in the 2021 competition. The international panel of experts is comprised of specialists from a wide variety of sectors. They scrutinized the products entered in the competition in a process that spanned several days and were guided by assessment criteria such as the product’s quality, ergonomics and longevity.
The smart DS-XL® LED System can be seen in the online exhibition on the Red Dot website from 21 June 2021. This date also marks the beginning of the Red Dot Design Week, during which this year’s award winners and Forest Group will be celebrated online.
Beginning 22 June 2021, the Smart DS-XL® LED System will also be included in the exhibition “Design on Stage” in the Red Dot Design Museum Essen, where all of the award-winning products are showcased. Visitors to the museum can experience the quality of the designs in a space that features contemporary design solutions and historical industrial architecture. The Red Dot Design Yearbook 2021/2022 comes out in August. The publication provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and trends in product design.
Forest Group will demonstrate the DS-XL® LED Motorised System at The Hotel Show / Index in Dubai from 31st of May until the 2nd of June and at HD Expo in Las Vegas, 24th and 25th of August 2021.
The smart DS-XL® LED track is a unique motorised curtain track system that combines a stylish design with a unique way of lighting. Controlling the curtains and integrated LED-lighting by remote control, app or building automation system guarantees a unique atmosphere in any room.
