Husqvarna Group wins another grand slam at the red dot awards
This year, Husqvarna Group received six prestigious "red dot" design awards for the high design quality of its Husqvarna and Gardena products. Three out of the six awards were in the "best of the best" distinction.
The red dot design award is one of the most prestigious international design awards, founded in 1955 by Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany. This year, the jury assessed 4,662 products in 19 different categories. Each product is rated on criteria such as innovation, functionality, self-explanatory, quality and environmental compatibility.
”We are deeply honored receiving as many as six awards this year. Winning three “red dot: best of the best” is really an achievement, showing that our focus on humanized technology is appreciated on a global scale. Design makes a difference," says Towe Ressman, Vice President Global Design at Husqvarna Group. She continues “We also appreciate that the jury awarded our efforts to protect the environment, with our recently launched battery-powered Husqvarna range that not only has no direct emissions, the products are lightweight and silent as well.”
