The International Forum Design Award competition is a prestigious design
competition held in connection with the annual CeBIT exhibition in Hanover,
Germany. This year more than 1,000 entrants from 35 countries competed for
this special award with 1,900 products. To select the winning products, the
jury evaluated qualities such as aesthetics, workmanship, choice of materials,
innovation, functionality, ergonomics and durability.
"It is noticeable that as many as two of GN Netcom's recently launched
products have been chosen as design award winners. This clearly demonstrates
our leading position in the hands-free market," says Niels B. Christiansen,
President & CEO of GN Netcom. "We are happy to be able to promote Danish
design internationally. All of GN Netcom's products are developed with the
customers' needs in mind. And we can see that design is becoming increasingly
important alongside the ergonomic and productivity benefits of using a
headset."
The official award presentation will be held in March on the first day of
CeBIT 2002 in Hanover, where also the iF Gold and Silver Award Winners will be
announced. Beginning in 2002, there will be several CeBIT events around the
world, which will also be featuring the iF Design galleries with the winning
products.
