ICONIC HOME in the Red Dot Collection
Following the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 and the subsequent annual exhibition, our vase was added to the Red Dot Collection in three sizes. It remains part of the collection beyond the exhibition.
From design award to museum collection
- 01
Awarded in 2025
Our vase collection received the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025.

The vase was on display at the Red Dot Design Museum Essen for a year, including in a small special area dedicated to development and form.

Selected for the collection
After the annual exhibition, three sizes of the vase were added to the Red Dot Collection.
BEYOND THE ANNUAL EXHIBITION
Carefully selected. Permanently preserved.
The museum preserves selected exhibits in the Red Dot Collection for possible inclusion in future special exhibitions. Our Sphere vase was chosen for this collection in the three sizes originally supplied for the exhibition.
We were delighted to accept the museum’s invitation and donate the three pieces permanently. They can now be considered for future special exhibitions at the museum, its partner museums in Singapore and Xiamen, and other museums.
Being part of the collection does not mean that the vases are on continuous public display. No specific future exhibition venues or dates have been confirmed.
MAKING DESIGN UNDERSTANDABLE
A vase that helps explain design.
During the year-long exhibition, the museum displayed our vase in a small special area as an example of distinctive development and form.
Guides and workshop leaders could use it as a tangible example to explain the four qualities of design. For us, this is a special form of recognition: the vase was not simply on display, but could also help make design easier to understand.
THE JURY’S STATEMENT
Where surface and form meet.
With their striking surfaces and flowing forms, the vases of the ICONIC HOME collection add a stylish touch to any living environment.
THE PLACE BEHIND THE STORY
Experience design at Zollverein.
In the former boiler house of the Zollverein coal mine in Essen, historic industrial architecture meets contemporary product design. Here, the Red Dot Design Museum displays award-winning everyday objects, inviting visitors to experience their design up close.
Also selected for the museum shop
ICONIC HOME vases have also been added to the museum shop’s range. Please contact the museum directly to find out which models and colours are available.
FROM EXHIBIT TO OBJECT FOR THE HOME
Design that finds a place in your home.
In the museum, the focus is on design. At home, the vase becomes part of everyday life: filled with flowers, placed as a considered accent or simply on its own. Explore the shapes, sizes and colours of ICONIC HOME and find the vase that feels at home with you.
