The German Design Award is a prestigious international prize awarded by the German Design Council. Its aim is to discover, present and honour unique design trends. Each year, it is awarded to outstanding entries from the fields of product and communication design, all of which are making ground-breaking contributions to the international design industry in their own way. The German Design Award, which was launched in 2012, is one of the most prestigious design competitions in the world and its excellent reputation extends far beyond specialist circles. This coveted award honours outstanding, trend-setting work which enriches the world of design. Once again this autumn, a judging panel featuring eminent design connoisseurs from the fields of business, academia and science assessed over 5000 entries and selected the winners. Our Z8 was among the winners of the German Design Council's prestigious international prize. Thanks to its outstanding design quality, it was declared ‘Winner’ in the ‘Kitchen’ category. We are thrilled!
