Dr Peter Zec, Founder and CEO of the Red Dot Awards, said: “Innovation is not always visible with the naked eye. Often it is hidden aspects, such as a refined technology inside the product or an improved combination of materials that constitute a lucid and sometimes brilliant new development.
“They are completely deserving of their reward, which permits them to use the globally recognised seal of good design.”
