Products for vacation: variety with high design quality

Never before could leisure time be spent as varied as today. People are spoilt for choice: from vacations in their own homes and spontaneous day trips to long-distance journeys. This diversity is also reflected in the Red Dot Award: Product Design. Manufacturers like Gloster Furniture, Helinox and Bosch Home Appliances deliver products with high design quality for the most diverse leisure and vacation claims.

The modular outdoor sofa "Grid" transforms the private garden or terrace in a cozy summer lounge and guarantees good times in a distinctive atmosphere. The shapes of the various elements allow the combination of the seating units in multiple ways and different directions. The wooden table elements are adjustable in height. Their graphic lines harmoniously blend with the comfortable cushioning. “With its generous dimensions, the Grid outdoor sofa provides a high level of comfort. Its mix of materials underlines the elegant appeal”, praises the Red Dot jury.

The South Korean manufacturer Helinox designs products for active vacationers who attach value to maximum benefit and elaborate product designs during a camping holiday or day trip. The camping furniture is characterized by ease of use, comfort and the thoughtful use of durable materials. Due to the combination of aluminium and an elastic polyethylene fiber material, the products are very light: the camping and swivel chair and also the deck "Lite Cot" weigh only about 1,200 grams.

The ideal travel companion for frequent flyers and globetrotters is the hairstyling set "Style to go" by Bosch Home Appliances. The set consists of a hair dryer, curler and straightening iron. Thanks to its compact design, the hairstyling set fits into any travel bag. Moreover, the Red Dot jury honoured the high functionality: because it is possible to switch to different voltages. In addition to this and other products from Bosch Home Appliances, which were awarded in the product competition 2015, the honorary title "Red Dot: Design Team of the Year" also went to "Robert Bosch Home Appliances Sachon & Design Team".
