SCHLEGEL receives the GOOD DESIGN AWARD

SCHLEGEL receives the GOOD DESIGN AWARD

Good news from America: The company GEORG SCHLEGEL was honoured with the renowned GOOD DESIGN AWARD of the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. The expert for pushbuttons & switches, control panels and emergency-stops from Dürmentingen has received this high ranked award for its new enclosure series proboxx.

The GOOD DESIGN AWARD is being awarded yearly by an international professional jury for innovative and elegant products and design solutions. It has been first awarded in 1950, making it one of the world´s oldest and prestigious design awards. For more than 70 years, the award stands for excellence in design and for innovation.

Ferrari, Google, SCHLEGEL

In 2020, more than 3,000 companies and designers from 48 countries entered the competition with their projects - a record number, according to the organiser. From this variety of innovative and beautiful solutions, the jury has awarded 900 awards in 30 categories. The award winners come from Asia, Australia, North and South America and Europe. Elegant cars as well as elegant furniture, innovative architecture, electronic goods, sports equipment or media have been awarded. With this award, SCHLEGEL is in the same ranks as global players such as Ferrari or Google. We have been awarded in the category "industrial products".

The proboxx has been developed together with the design agency "Ottenwälder & Ottenwälder" from Schwäbisch Gmünd. The focus for functionality in combination with aesthetic demands now has been rewarded with this high ranked award. This proves once more that at SCHLEGEL, elegance and proficiency go hand in hand.

To pay special attention to elegant product design has a long tradition at SCHLEGEL. The GOOD DESIGN AWARD is the 97th design award our company received. The 96th design award was also connected to the proboxx - in the summer of 2020 the enclosure has been awarded with the "German Design Award". It is also the second time for us to receive the GOOD DESIGN AWARD: In 2018, SCHLEGEL convinced the experts in aesthetics with the "Rondex-Juwel" series.

Miracle of flexibility

With the new proboxx, SCHLEGEL expands their enclosure series with an especially elegant and at the same time functional variant. The proboxx, made of the robust plastics polyamide, proves itself to be a "miracle of flexibility". It can be ordered as an empty enclosure with conventional wiring, M12 connection, a field bus system or with a wireless solution.
