An internationally renowned jury, consisting of 44 design experts, has engaged in a critical discussion and debate to select the winning products. Out of 4,322 entries submitted by 1,605 participants from 48 countries, the jury of the iF product design award has selected their 1218 favorites as the best designs for 2012.
Philips Consumer Luminaires is honoured with 9 iF design awards for their consumer luminaires ranges. “It is a great recognition for our products, the design teams and our business group, and clearly shows our capabilities in design as well as our leadership in LED”, says Heleen Engelen, Senior Design Director at Philips Consumer Luminaires. “We recently started developing LED based solutions and these awards are an inspiration and boost for the future.”
LIRIO by Philips received 3 iF design awards:
A high end, energy saving, pendant with a design that communicates innovation through the use of LEDs. The domes; smoothly rising up out of the slim body, hint at the origin and the direction of the cast light.
A new variation on the theme of a classic, archetypical lamp shade. The design style is “deceptively simple” with its graphical, clear volumes.
