German Innovation Award 2024
for HEWI S 900 Q
The sanitary accessories of our HEWI S 900 Q design variant were recently honoured with the "German Innovation Award 2024 – Special Mention" in the category "Excellence in Business to Business: Building & Elements".
S 900 Q – Slender, light and linear
The S 900 Q design variant from HEWI impresses with a square design language that creates timeless accents. The clean lines show attitude and skilfully highlight the accessories to great effect. The accessories’ linearity is underlined by the variety of materials and colours in stainless steel, chrome and powder-coated in white, black and grey. Round inserts made of satinised crystal glass create exciting contrasts. With their modern design, the accessories are suitable for use in various types of building. Thanks to the system concept, S 900 Q can be combined with all HEWI solutions for consistent design throughout.
THE COMPETITION THAT SHINES A LIGHT ON INNOVATION
The German Innovation Award is awarded by the German Design Council. It honours products, solutions and services across all sectors that sustainably improve life through innovation and progress. The German Innovation Award provides a platform for these innovative solutions and demonstrates where innovations can take us: "Because positive changes that influence and enrich the lives of a wide range of target groups have always been brought about through innovation."
The jury for the German Innovation Awards is made up of experts from industry, digitalisation, science and institutions. The submissions are evaluated based on three criteria: level of innovation, user benefits, and economic efficiency. The innovation strategy should take into account aspects such as social, ecological, and economic sustainability and the efficient use of energy and resources.
