Welcome to the Red Dot Jury 2027, Francesca Lanzavecchia! 🔴 The Milan-based designer and Creative Director is co-founder of Lanzavecchia + Wai and leads Francesca Lanzavecchia Studio. Her approach combines craftsmanship, material research and storytelling – what she calls “industrial poetry”. 💬 What are you most excited about as you join our jury? What excites me most is the chance to step outside my own practice and take a close look at such a broad cross-section of product design today. I am curious to see which ideas, materials and approaches feel genuinely relevant when you encounter the objects themselves, beyond images and communication. I am equally looking forward to the exchange with the other jurors, because different perspectives can completely change the way you read a product. 💬 Which quality do you believe is often underestimated in product design? I think care is still underestimated. By care, I mean designing for people as they really are, with different ages, bodies, abilities and moments of fragility, rather than for an abstract ideal user. Often the best design simply makes life easier, more intuitive or more dignified without drawing attention to the fact that it is doing so. 💬 What has been the most valuable lesson you've learned throughout your career? Probably to listen. You need to know what matters in a project, but also leave enough space for other people, materials and processes to make it better. 👉 Get to know Francesca and the Red Dot Jury 2027.

Young Professional success story: Arnau Donate Duch! 🏆 One year ago, Arnau took part in the Young Professionals Application Day. Now in 2026, he is a Red Dot winner with the product Phare C1, an AI-powered smoke detector that reimagines everyday safety. Inspired by his experiences after moving from Barcelona to London, Arnau developed a product that combines intelligent hazard detection with an intuitive interface and a design that integrates naturally into the home. 💬 In what ways has participating in the Red Dot Award: Product Design impacted your growth or career as a young professional? When I was a design student I looked up to the Red Dot Award. [...] Having received an award now, 10 years later, closes that circle and carries a lot of meaning. It gives visibility to both the challenges we are working on and the solution we’ve built and recognises the quality of the thought and work behind it. 💬 What’s your top tip for young designers just starting out? I’d tell them to embrace multidisciplinarity. […] the value of connecting ideas from different fields, thinking in analogies, metaphors and first principles, is often underrated and can give birth to some of the best ideas and designs. 📅 Starting a career in design is not always easy. On 18 November 2026, the Young Professionals Application Day gives designers who graduated no more than five years ago the chance to win one of 50 free registrations for the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2027. 🚀 Find out how to apply and read the full interview in the Red Dot Magazine.

Light enough to move freely. Strong enough to rely on.​ 🪽 At just five kilograms, the Rollz Air tackles one of the central challenges in walking aids: combining low weight with dependable stability. Its carbon frame, carefully balanced geometry and ergonomic components work together to create a rollator that is easy to handle and transport without compromising support. A clean, contemporary design deliberately moves away from a clinical appearance, making the Rollz Air not only a mobility aid but a product designed with independence and confidence in mind.

Mounted directly on the sash, the solution allows the window to remain open while the shutter is lowered – combining effective heat protection and light control with greater flexibility in everyday use.
