Description
The Design Plus award honours excellent and especially innovative design. Biennial during the Material Vision fair the Design Plus designation is given to products developed and manufactured by involving innovative materials or processing techniques. At the Material Vision competition manufacturers of different branches, designers and architects present themselves to the jury of experts with pioneering materials and products. For the manufacturers and designers being awarded, the Design Plus label is an excellent marketing tool. Design Plus Material Vision is the most important award in the realm of material innovation with the highest number of competition entries. Receiving an award creates an effective instrument for positioning the company and distinguishing the product in the area of product innovations and new materials. By winning the Design Plus award the product is automatically nominated for the forthcoming Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany.
