2 x Japan, 1 x Germany: Wilkhahn office chairs with prize-winning design
[03-04-2005] Three office chair ranges from the company in Lower Saxony have won top international design awards recently. On the occasion of the 'Germany Year in Japan', design juries there have awarded no less than two prizes to Wilkhahn:
- The Solis and Solis F office chair ranges, which have already won the red dot award and the Focus Gold and Silver in Germany, received the Good Design Award "G-Mark" 2004, which is conferred by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization (JIDPO).
 Prize-winner in Japan: the distinct Solis F office chair range (design: wiege)
- The Special Prize for Long-Selling Good Design Products ("G-Mark") 2004 was picked up by the Picto office chair, which has been regarded as a model of excellence for the successful combination of ingeniously simple, ergonomic functionality, modern form and environmentally compatible engineering since its launch in 1992. The range has already won 18 awards and was the first office chair in the world to win the Dutch Milieukeur (1995).
 Special award for "longseller": the Picto office chair (design: PER, Burkhard Schmitz, Franz Biggel) has set international standards
And in Germany, Wilkhahn could not wish for any better start to the market launch of its completely new office chair:
- On the first day of CeBIT 2005 in Hanover, the Neos office chair range will be presented with the renowned iF product design award of the Industrie Forum Hanover.
 Market launch and already an award-winner: Neos (design: Wiege) wins the iF product design award
