GERMANY – Surteco GmbH has won two German Design Awards in the Material and Surfaces category. Awards are only given to products that break new ground in the German and international design landscapes.

Surteco received a “Special Mention” for its Compact-Style product as well as a “Winner” for its Core-Design products.

“As experts in creative design, we believe it is part of our job to apply our skills to spotlight emerging trends – we create, we innovate”, stated the Company in a press release. And further added, “We are extremely proud that two of our products have been recognized for outstanding design quality at German Design Award 2019. This is because the German Design Award sets international standards when it comes to the most innovative developments in design. Awards are only given to products which break new ground in the German and international design landscapes”.

With Compact-Style, developed in cooperation with the Dietzproduktgestaltung design bureau, Surteco is entering a completely new dimension in modern furniture design. The combination of a plain front and Compact Style simulates a dyed laminate with a natural looking, inlaid panel. This effect significantly improves the furniture, and its edges give it a modern design accent.

Core-Design, made possible by Surteco’s innovative digital printing technology, allows for printing two different decors onto an edge, simultaneously. In this way, it is possible to, for example, incorporate the decor of the rear wall of a recess or of the kitchen panels as a core of the worktop. This visually connects the worktop with the rest of the kitchen – creating a harmonious cuisine environment.
