Seating furniture manufacturer JORI wins prestigious international Red Dot Award
Belgian seating furniture manufacturer JORI has just won the international Red Dot Award in the ‘product design’ category. Worldwide, the Red Dot Awards are one of the leading distinctions in the design and furniture industry, similar to the Oscars or the Palme D’Or for the movie industry.
JORI won first prize in the ‘Product Design’ category for its Chillap armchair. The Chillap is a single seat armchair in a striking design allowing the seat to be used for a wide variety of purposes. The jury duly rated the way in which the Chillap acts in response to contemporary home lifestyle trends, such as the use of durable materials and the mobility aspect (with the Chillap allowing for multifunctional use as a leisure or a professional piece of seating furniture).
Worldwide, the highly coveted Red Dot Award is one of the premier distinctions in the design industry. For the 2008 edition, no less than 3,200 designers from over 50 countries took part. Further information at www.chillap.com and www.red-dot.de.
