Villeroy & Boch's tile line lands coveted award

Aimée, a new and innovative tile from Villeroy & Boch, has won the red dot design award in the category product design for its excellent design and product quality. Around 1,400 companies from 49 countries took part in the competition, but only a small number gained particular recognition.

One of the world's largest competitions, the red dot design award enjoys an excellent reputation among manufacturers, specialist retailers and end consumers and is a clear indication of product quality.

Since 1955, the quality seal of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen has hallmarked products which stand out from the rest in terms of innovation level, functionality and environmental friendliness, as well as aesthetic criteria.

Through cooperation with Australian and Asian design centres, Aimée also features in the documentation provided by institutions in many other countries.

The award-winning products in 2009 will be exhibited at the red dot design museum in Essen for at least one year.

Villeroy & Boch are represented in Malta by Bathroom Design Ltd of Naxxar Road, Birkirkara. For more information one may visit the website www.bathroomdesign.com.mt.
