iF Design Awards Top 20 Gold Winners Posted: 28 Feb 2014 04:10 PM PST Its way past midnight as I file this report, I have just got back from a spectacular evening spent at the BMW Welt, Munich. BMW opened its doors to the iF Design Awarding Ceremony. Designers from all across the world were present for the event; about a thousand design-inspired folks were present at the event. Highlights of the evening was the 75 iF Design Award Gold winners who had come to collect their award. And of course the master of them all Ralph Wiegmann. Glittering trophy in hand and fingers pointing to their name on the winner's wall, was a sight to be seen! This is my second trip to Munich and I must congratulate Ralph and his team for pulling off such a great show. Well timed and precise there were only a few key things to do (of the winners)… collect their awards, get the Year Book, Pose at the Name-on-wall and the official photo booth. Last but not the least: eat amazing food and dance the night away. Perfect recipe for a fun evening! More updates and pictures on my 3-day trip will be posted next week, but for now just go through my recap of best iF Design Award Gold Winners. MINI Kapooow! – Installation by BMW The MINI Paceman installation looks smashing and was showcased at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2013. My Taxi by Hyundai Card The “My Taxi” is a taxi adjusted to the urban setting and inhabitants of Seoul, following the concept “Small, Spacious, Smart”. Social Kitchen by Alt Group For the Social Kitchen 2012, guests embarked on a linear food journey along a custom 65 m kitchen to hunt, gather, store, prepare, cook, cool, clean and share. On the journey guests interacted with Fisher & Paykel designers and engineers about the experience at hand and their memories of food, cooking and life lived around the products. The insights gathered from these interactions will influence future generations of appliance design. Metronomis LED Range by Philips Design Metronomis LED is the first street lighting range in the world to offer a palette of environmental lighting effects to give projects a unique contextual or esthetic touch. Lifeline GoSafe, HomeSafe by Philips Design HomeSafe is a range of wearable help buttons that enable voice communication with the Lifeline help service. DesignLine PDL8908S/12 by Philips Design The Philips DesignLine PDL8908S/12 combines uncompromised picture quality performance with groundbreaking dimensions, making it the most enjoyable viewing experience on the market. The innovative use of full glass integration within the design of the DesignLine PDL8908S/12 allows the LED TV to blend seamlessly into any interior, while also communicating a high performance television. NOVA by Lunar Nova is a climbing wall that redefines training at home through a new take on design expression and a compelling interactive interface. XS Quattro by Tatic Designstudio S. R. L. This very slim door fitting with integrated access control and card reader unites various functional areas with modern design while offering space for all essential components. SmartHeater by BALMUDA Inc. SmartHeater is a unique aluminum radiator heater, which warms the room gently by convection and radiant heat. TRACE + NICE by Tobias Grau GmbH The TRACE track system permits a sequence of spots and pendant lamps. Vakka by Aalto + Aalto Designers Elina and Klaus Aalto had an idea to create an esthetically pleasing container, that does not look too much like a container and lends itself for a variety of uses, including serving as a stackable piece of furniture Leimu by Magnus Pettersen The Leimu table lamp has been inspired by the striking combination of glass and concrete in modern architecture. Ultimate Ears BOOM by NONOBJECT Unlike most speakers, the Ultimate Ears BOOM is not designed to be a precious object made to passively entertain. It’s the center of action – passed around, held or hanging from a backpack. ZERO 1 by Adamidesign Wireless – Digital – High-end. ZERO 1, the first digital all in one horn speaker system in the world. Fitbit Force by NewDealDesign LLC Wireless activity and sleep wristband – comfortable and advanced Fitbit Force is the first and only wireless activity and sleep-tracking wristband featuring an OLED display with real-time access to all your activity stats including stairs; wirelessly syncs to leading Apple and Android devices. G Flex by LG Electronics The G Flex is conceptualized as a curved smartphone; to put it into commercialization, LG has newly developed all its major components, such as LCD and battery, to be bendable in shapes. Formwork by Industrial facility Formwork desk containers have been designed to help bring order to papers, tools, and artifacts – the things that surround us and allow us to be productive and comfortable. Nike Studio Wrap by Nike Inc. The Nike Studio Wrap is designed to help women make the most of workouts typically done in bare feet, including yoga, dance and barre. Concept S-Klasse Coupé by Daimler AG This S-Class Coupe study unites tradition and emotion in a symbolic embodiment of the Mercedes-Benz style of design: sensual purity. Yumi by Shigeru Ban Architects Yumi means bow in Japanese. Yumi is both delicate and strong: a clean design and simple shape that blend into a lightweight yet sturdy structure of composite material, wrapped in a carbon fiber coat with a surface brushed to a gloss finish. - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!
