The Red Dot Best of the Best Award was given to Siemens for its Integrated Design Hood. Jörn Ludwig, a designer from the team, shared his pride: “This project is a perfect example of successful teamwork: the close collaboration not only with the engineers but also between all brand designers resulted in an innovative built-in hood. The appliance combines ingenious German engineering to create more space for our consumers with a sleek and almost invisible industrial design: the hidden glass flap integrates the user interface in a remarkable easy and intuitive operation.”
