Red Dot Design Award: Philips Smart Fit 1.5T Coils
The radio-frequency coils Philips Smart Fit 1.5T Coils have been designed to make MRI scans of the torso, heart and shoulder easier, faster and more comfortable for the patient. This is achieved thanks to skin-friendly, soft material and light weight. The high flexibility also ensures a good adaptation to different body shapes. A colour coding guides intuitively through the operation: The side of the coil facing the patient is always kept in light grey; a light signal indicates whether the coil is correctly connected.
Red Dot Design Award: CookingRAK
CookingRAK combines a porcelain worktop with an innovative, hidden induction cooking system. The product provides a unique cooking experience on a seamlessly designed kitchen surface, suitable for both food preparation and dining. Porcelain surfaces are particularly durable, as well as heat, stain and scratch resistant, and easy to clean. A key safety feature of CookingRAK is that the work surface does not get hot – only the cookware is heated.
Red Dot Design Award: Karat RS
It is almost a little surprising that there are still product innovations that manage without new materials, smart functions or the latest technologies – and which yet are new, different and trendsetting for their industry. One example of this is Karat RS, a clay roof tile whose history goes back to 1966. Back then, it caused a sensation as the first roof tile model that also works on a roof pitch of just seven degrees.
Red Dot Design Award: KOTTO
The KOTTO remote control combines sustainability and modernity. Despite its futuristic design, the user experience is paramount. The capsule-like casing contains generously sized buttons in different shapes, enhancing the user experience. An innovative feature is the interactive control of volume and channel selection in the same place. KOTTO does not require batteries, but has an unobtrusively integrated solar cell, highlighted by a subtle geometric pattern.
Red Dot Design Award: Satellite internet antenna
This innovative satellite internet antenna provides internet connection via satellite for areas with poor signals or disturbances, such as remote villages or disaster areas. The external amplification and weight-reducing structure, complemented by casing made of a magnesium alloy, ensure a sleek yet robust product. The active antenna enhances performance, while a high-precision motor and an algorithm establish automatic connections. For transport, the device can be disassembled into two parts.
Red Dot Design Award: Luja
The intermittent catheter Luja, with its special micro-hole zone technology, offers male users and healthcare providers a significant clinical improvement and provides a simple method for completely emptying the bladder. With over 80 micro-holes, the bladder can be completely emptied without interrupting the flow. Compared to traditional catheters with two eyes, Luja simplifies application, increases user confidence and reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, as no residual urine is left behind.
Red Dot Design Award: RAVO E2
The RAVO E2 is a fully electric, high-performance, and quiet compact sweeper, specifically designed for cleaning urban spaces. It features a replaceable battery that can be swapped out for a fully charged one in a matter of minutes. The innovative design of the controls ensures the safety and comfort of the operator, while state-of-the-art telematics optimise machine and fleet management. The RAVO E2 is also available as a fully electric washer.
Red Dot Design Award: Philips LumiGuide
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen revolutionised medical diagnostics with the discovery of X-rays in 1895. Despite the quickly recognised problem of radiation exposure, intraoperative imaging is now used in more and more procedures as it can be performed in a minimally invasive manner. The current standard in device navigation is still the X-ray image, which provides a 2D greyscale projection of what is happening in the patient’s body.
Red Dot Design Award: QOCA EY2
QOCA EY2 was designed for medical staff, enabling them to transmit a real-time image to specialised colleagues in emergencies or during surgical procedures. Unlike AR glasses, the lensless QOCA EY2 does not project images in front of the wearer's eyes, but merely transmits what is seen and stores it in the cloud for later reviews. The lightweight design is also comfortable to wear with additional eyewear and adapts well to the shape of the head.
Red Dot Design Award: Surgify Halo
The innovative Surgify Halo drill tip was specifically designed for bone-cutting operations. The product minimises the risk of damage to soft tissues, such as blood vessels or structures of the central nervous system. The pressure-controlled tip offers increased safety, precision and speed in neurosurgical and complex orthopaedic procedures. A safety mechanism with a tissue-specific protective layer is automatically activated upon contact with softer tissue.
Red Dot Design Award: BullseyeBore Core
The patented drill accessory, BullseyeBore Core, allows for always drilling straight. It can be magnetically attached to the flat front of the drill chuck and rotates with the drill. In doing so, it projects circular patterns onto the work surface, indicating a correct or incorrect alignment of the drill. BullseyeBore Core can be used in any orientation, on walls, floors, ceilings, or angled boards. Upon contact with a foreign object, the magnetic connection safely disconnects, and the rotation stops.
Red Dot Design Award: Livfria Leg & Night bags
Livfria is an innovative leg and night bag system for urinary incontinence. It stands out due to its unobtrusive appearance and a user-friendly click-lock connection. A dual-chamber design and soft, flexible tubes ensure a natural fit, while a foldable tap prevents residual dripping and reduces visibility under clothing. In addition, Livfria offers an extended usage cycle of 28 days, which increases efficiency and potentially contributes to the prevention of infections.
Red Dot Design Award: Olo
The Olo remote control combines sustainability with simple design. It is particularly thin, softly shaped and fits well in the hand. All buttons are made entirely from recycled ABS, and the symbols have been applied using laser marking, without inks or coatings. For intuitive operation, each group of buttons has a specific shape and size. Glossy details highlight important functions. Olo contains a bifacial solar cell, while a rechargeable battery serves as a secondary power source.
Red Dot Design Award: Rivelia
The Rivelia automatic coffee machine offers an extraordinary coffee experience and freshly ground coffee at the touch of a button. With the Bean Switch System, different types of coffee beans can be stored in separate containers and easily changed. The Bean Adapt technology and the Coffee Routine function adjust the brewing process to the selected beans and personal preferences. The modern, simple design approach with elegant lines and colours makes Rivelia uncomplicated and user-friendly.
Red Dot Design Award: Philips Hue MR16
Philips Hue MR16 is a series of energy-efficient LED spotlights that can be easily installed into existing fixtures. The spotlights can be integrated into existing Hue systems, are wirelessly dimmable and compatible with Bluetooth. Even with intensive use, the spotlights cool themselves, which increases their longevity. Even the functional elements on the exterior have been carefully designed to achieve a decorative result for every application - even with a spot exposed.
