The competition for the Saxon State Award for Design was already held for the 13th time and reached a new high with 318 submissions. 39 outstanding products were nominated and 16 of them were awarded with a price. A jury, among whose prominent members was Prof. Gerhard Friedrich, BMW Group and Martin Pross, Director Scholz & Friends Group, decided on the recipients. For the first time, the Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH donated the trophy made of real Meissen porcelain.

The spectrum of the exhibited objects includes a cruiser in timeless style, the lamp RIMA that is operated by gestures and the unique furniture “break a cafetable”. The exhibition impressively demonstrates that outstanding design not only unites quality, functionality and esthetics, but has also become a competitive advantage in today’s globalized markets - and that Saxon enterprises have recognized this fact.
