The award-winning works from Taiwan include among other things the room installation “Landscape of the Boundary” by ArchiBlur Lab, created for the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and comprising more than 2,000 Taiwanese bamboo sticks. The Red Dot: Grand Prix, the highest individual award in the competition, was only awarded a total of seven times by the international panel of experts, the Red Dot jury. One of the winners was the packaging design “This Is Not Calvados” by the Finnish agency Win Win Packaging.

Winner of the Red Dot: Junior Prize is from Taiwan

74 happy winners were given a Red Dot: Best of the Best.. These include the camera app “B612 – Selfie from the Heart” from Line Corp. in Tokyo. The exhibition also shows the work that won the Red Dot: Junior Prize. In 2015, the award, with prize money of EUR 10,000 sponsored by the software company Adobe, for the first time went to Taiwan. Hsuan-Eng Chen and Chien-Hsing Chen from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology were honoured for the “Blind Navi” app they developed. This new app works by imitating how blind people recognise streets, combining multi-sensory messages with known reference points.
