Nov 3rd 2016 // VDID at the EUROMOLD and Airtec 2016

At an exclusive location – the entrance area of the munich fair – the VDID informed the small but choice expert audience of the double exhibition Euromold and Airtec in October 2016.
In addition, Eckstein Design, Mursch & Knopp and Platodesign were present to provide information about their work and their collaboration with the VDID.
The work of the two bachelor students Thomas Reithmeier (innovative bicycle helmet) and Ferdinand Krämer (emotional and sustainable leather protection plate / mid-string bag), sponsored and exhibited by the VDID, were of great interest. In the course of a reception of the Bavarian state government in the emperor’s residence at the Munich Residenz, discussions were held between business and politics at an evening network event.

On 4 July 2016, the global design scene came to Essen to celebrate the winners of the Red Dot Award: Product Design. The best products have been chosen and the proud prizewinners have received their trophies at the Aalto Theater in Essen. Congratulations to all winners of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2016! This year the "Blackmagic Industrial Design Team led by Simon Kidd" from Australia was honored as the Red Dot Design Team of the Year 2016. Blackmagic is one of the most influential innovators and producers of creative video technologies.

Also this year we can look forward to an award for good design performance.
