Philips TV & Sound products win four Red Dot 2023 Product Design Awards, always a nice boost of course!
TP Vision, licensee of Philips TV & Sound, has won no less than four awards in the Product Design category at the 2023 Red Dot Awards. The winners of the 2023 Red Dot Awards from Philips TV & Sound are (in the manufacturer’s own words in terms of description):
Philips Ambilight TV OLED+908
As the flagship of the 2023 Philips Ambilight TV series, the design of the OLED+908 had to exude flagship allure, and feature the best picture and sound quality.
The OLED+908 features a modest integrated sound solution from Bowers & Wilkins, wrapped in a custom-made acoustic wool fabric from the Kvadrat brand. The central open-frame aluminum stand provides swivel functionality. In addition, the new remote control offers backlighting and secondary use buttons for a simpler user experience.
Philips Fidelio T2 TWS headphones
The Fidelio T2 wireless headphones characterize themselves as a premium audio product. The T2 continues the simplified geometric design style the company developed for the Philips Fidelio and offers both very compact headphones and a charging case.
The headphones use a precision ceramic frame with durable Muirhead leather. The charging case also includes Muirhead leather combined with extruded, anodized aluminum and a rubber base plate for ease of use.
Philips Fidelio L4 headphones
Fidelio has an established reputation for high-quality sound, materials and comfort.
The L4 headphones (pictured at the top of this post) continue the simplified geometric design style already used for the Philips Fidelio. The premium headphones are surprisingly light and compact by using anodized aluminum for the open frame with durable Muirhead leather for the headband.
Philips A5508 True Wireless
Philips Sound has continued to develop as an A-brand in the dedicated sports audio segment. The A5508 builds on Philips’ growing range of sports wearables by offering a True Wireless product that is light, very compact, recognizable and durable. The grooved details on the product’s contact points make it easier and more intuitive to use and improve the sweat regulation of the product surface.
Uniqueness
Rod White, Chief Design Officer at TP Vision: ”I believe in TP Vision’s uniqueness in consumer electronics due to its focus on product design. Design is a core element within our creation process and not an afterthought once the product concept is outlined. Our consumers are clearly convinced that the design of their product is essential. It adds to their pride in owning the product. I am delighted that four of our products have once again received the highest award and official recognition from the professional design community, winning four Red Dot Awards.”
‘For more than 60 years, thanks to an independent panel of 50 international design professionals, the Red Dot Awards have recognized the best in product design in the categories of functionality, quality, ergonomics and innovation, plus more recently sustainability and ecological compatibility. All factors that have led to the awards becoming one of the most popular and sought-after prizes for outstanding product design. With more than 20,000 entries, the Red Dot Awards are one of the world’s largest and most prestigious design competitions’, TP Vision adds.
