　　一、Comma Chair
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　Comma’s powerful lines emerge by substracting elemental forms from a cube. The cylindrical section removed from the base of the back provides space for comfort and room for garments. The double depth of the back offers good suspension and support and is visually and haptically inviting.
　　二、Don Corleone Lounge Sofa
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　Straight lines frame the opulently upholstered surfaces of the Don Corleone sofa, which want to abduct the owner into a gently caressing seating pleasure. Elaborate seaming art with ornamental stripes worked into felled seams is a striking design detail. Integrated drawing-ins in the seat, arm- and backrests create a play of light and shadow emphasising a smooth inviting look. As three-part corner group or four-seater in two different seat depths Don Corleone integrates into any room.
　　三、GJ Chair
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　The design of the GJ Chair is a remake of the known draft created by the designer Grete Jalk in 1963. This chair is a classic in design history. On grounds of its complexity only about 300 copies were originally produced, very few of which still exist today. Form, function and finish should be realised in this chair like in the original. That is why the new GJ Chair is also made of the original wood species teak and Oregon pine.
　　四、hettinject VB insert Invisible Connection Fitting
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　This fitting is the basis for invisible connections between lightweight boards – 38 or 50 mm thickness with 4 mm outer layers. The fitting is inserted edgeways into the board and fixed to both outer layers simultaneously by glue forced through specially designed channels. Balanced distribution of forces ensures a solid connection and an end product with high load-bearing capacity.
　　五、Library Shelf System
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　“Library” is a modular object shelf of a timeless minimalist design language that reinterprets the idea of a shelf. Made of HPL material – an innovative material since it is long-lasting and therefore suitable for indoor and outdoor use – this shelf system provides the most varied contents with a durable and common encasement.
　　七、Lifeline Cabinet Furniture Programme
　　honourable mention
　　red dot award: product design 2009
　　The Lifeline cabinet furniture programme comprises 19 freely combinable individual units. Horizontal lines stained in a dark hue, which recurrently run through the furniture fronts, are a distinctive design feature. The fronts can be opened by an intricately milled handle bar.
