Design prize for rational einbauküchen GmbH The German Design Council has singled out the rational kitchen tiozen edition to receive its international premium prize, the German Design Award 2016. The German Design Award ranks as one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions and is held in high regard well beyond professional circles. It is the goal of the German Design Council to discover, present and award unique design trends. Thus, every year high calibre submissions from product and communications design, all of which are considered in their own unique way to be at the cutting edge of the international design scene, are chosen as prize-winners. The tio-zen edition is synonymous with living in harmony: the tranquility exuded by a Japanese garden – combined with traditional wood craftsmanship and technical finesse. In true keeping with the Zen tradition, this kitchen concept invites the natural balance of forces to play the central role. Distinguished with a “Special Mention”, the natural and distinct design is a wholly in-house development of the rational team. This distinction singles out works whose design displays particularly noteworthy partial 1/2 If published, please send a voucher copy to: rational einbauküchen GmbH | Rationalstrasse 4 | D-49328 Melle / Germany aspects or solutions – an award recognizing the commitment of companies and designers.
