Henrik Holbęk and Claus Jensen: the Best Designers of the Red Dot Award
June 14, 2006 | Levent OZLER
For the outstanding design and the intelligent functionality of their eva solo "Aromagic" carafes the Danish designers Henrik Holbęk and Claus Jensen were honoured with the red dot: best of the best.
They talked to us about "The logic of intelligent function":
"Ideally, industrial design is about adding value.
As opposed to jewellery design or figurative art, the perceived value of a product is not only determined by its shape or the choice of material.
Functionality is the third parameter - it's the hidden beauty, the product's personality.
As designers we are mixing the ingredients, carefully balancing the flavour.
It is not rocket science, but highly subjective.
Shape is a consequence of requirements - and shape is a function in itself."
