“Red Dot Award for Design Concept is one of the toughest design awards that one can win in the world today.” Asia President of Red Dot, Mr. Ken Koo reveals . “The challenge is not just in the odds of winning, but also in the high quality of the competing design projects that are assessed on a fair platform.”

Creating the future: a better future

“To think innovatively and remain forward-looking in persistent times — to still be in motion — is truly a special skill. Taking the best of today to make the best out of tomorrow is the real magic behind creating a design concept with added value.” explains Professor Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot. “In the Red Dot Award: Design Concept, we are looking for design concepts that aim to shape a better tomorrow.
