POGGENPOHL WINS DESIGN AWARDS
Poggenpohl has won many distinctions and awards during its long company history.
The most recent accolades Poggenpohl has received for its latest +ARTESIO kitchen concept
include the coveted red dot award "best of the best" 2011 as well as the international iF Award for excellent product design, and the Good Design Award from the "The Chicago
Athenaeum", Museum of Architecture and Design.
In 2009, we won the coveted 2009/2010"Superbrand" award and were the only German kitchen
brand to be featured in the standard work "Marken des Jahrhunderts" (German Standards – Brands of the Century).
Poggenpohl ranked 6th in a study of the Top 40 luxury brands in Germany.
Time and time again, our kitchens have won some of the most renowned design awards in the world. The +INTEGRATION range from Poggenpohl won the "red dot design award" and "Interior
Innovation Award Cologne" in 2005, as well as the "Good Design Award" of Chicago's Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in 2004. PLUSMODO also won the "red dot
design award 2006" and "iF Design Award" as well as numerous other distinctions.
Even before being officially launched on the market, the Poggenpohl Porsche Design kitchen
P'7340 has also won the "iF Gold Award", one of the world's oldest and most renowned design awards, as well as the coveted "red dot design award".
(Fairfield, NJ October 2006) – The innovative kitchen architecture PLUSMODO created by
Spanish designer Jorge Pensi has already won six coveted design awards within the first year of its appearance on the market. No other product made by Poggenpohl has won so many awards
in such a short period of time.
Germany's oldest furniture brand has always been known as a trendsetter for innovative
kitchen design. Spectacular and daring designs, such as the spherical kitchen by star designer Luigi Colani, the unmistakable form of the company's own design lines +SEGMENTO® and
+INTEGRATION® , PLUSMODO and the design study recently presented at the Eurocucina 2006 exhibition in Milan have repeatedly won the attention and appreciation of a broad international audience.
"It is always an exciting moment whenever we present our newest developments to the critical
public eye. And we are naturally always delighted whenever our designs are well received and appreciated. We are extremely proud of the distinction bestowed upon us with these design
awards. They strengthen our brand and show that we have set pioneering trends for the future," says Poggenpohl's managing director Elmar Duffner.
The two kitchen concepts +SEGMENTO® (2000) and +INTEGRATION® (2004) have already
won the distinguished "Good Design Award" by the famous Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. PLUSMODO also won the award last year. "Good Design" was founded
in 1950 and is the oldest international competition for innovative new product design in the world.
The "red dot design award" which has been given every year for more than 50 years by the
Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen in Essen is a mark of quality and one of the leading competitive distinctions. A record-breaking number of 2,068 entries from 41 nations were
submitted this year. PLUSMODO is one of the products that ultimately won this coveted mark of quality. As Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, initiator of the "red dot design award" and president of the
international design association ICSID, explained when presenting the awards, "this distinction is a major indicator of whether or not a product has the necessary potential to survive in an
international market".
PLUSMODO has also won the "iF Product Design Award 2006". Since its introduction in 1953,
the award has remained a constant and reputed trademark for all "award-winning" designs. The best entries from eleven countries were awarded the "iF Design Award China" by a jury of
Chinese and German experts; this honor was now awarded for the fourth time this year. In addition, it was also revealed that PLUSMODO was chosen for the "Top Selection" and thus
qualifies as one of the 10 best products in the competition. The winning sculpture is currently being presented to Poggenpohl in China.
PLUSMODO has also been nominated to receive the "Design Award of the Federal Republic of
Germany 2007" in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of product design. Companies cannot submit their own entries for this Design Award, which has been awarded
since 2002. Only products which have already won a leading award can be nominated for this Award. No other distinction imposes such a stringent criteria which is why it is the most highly
coveted award among designers. The decision will be made in October.
