Design is not free from purpose

An example: in the year 2003, 4000 competitors out of 44 countries presented their works at the red dot design-award. This prize is one of the most desired quality labels for good design.

The design competition, or better called design prize “red dot award: product design” emphasizes exceptional works of every area inside of industrial design, of sanitary and kitchen products as well as living and home design, lamps, jewelry and accessories. The products receive the approval for good and very good design quality with the “red dot”.
