Electrolux Group Secures Three Red Dot Design Awards for 2026
Electrolux Group has extended its long-running success at the Red Dot Design Awards, collecting three new accolades in the Product Design category and reinforcing its position as one of Europe’s most design‑driven appliance manufacturers.
At the centre of this year’s wins is the AEG N.E.W. FAVORIT / N.E.W. Electrolux Dishwasher Range, recognised for its blend of ergonomic thinking, responsible resource use and intelligent, user‑centred design. The range reflects the Group’s continued push toward appliances that feel intuitive in daily use while delivering measurable sustainability gains.
Electrolux also earned praise for the PizzaExpert oven, a product that challenges long‑held assumptions about what a domestic oven can achieve. Capable of reaching temperatures above 400°C and baking a pizza in as little as two minutes, the oven recreates professional‑grade conditions at home through a dedicated Pizza Mode — without compromising its full everyday cooking functionality.
Joaquin Garcia, Global Head of Design at Electrolux Group, said the awards highlight the company’s commitment to meaningful innovation:
> “From rethinking what’s possible in the home oven, to elevating everyday care and timeless Scandinavian expression, these products show how thoughtful, human‑centred design can make advanced technology feel natural in the home.”
Both award‑winning products are now rolling out across European markets, strengthening Electrolux Group’s premium design credentials at a time when consumers are seeking appliances that combine performance, sustainability and aesthetic clarity.
