Another Silver. Yes!! (11/3/2009)

Having received a Gold for the Skull Comp helmet and a Silver for the Lobes Goggles, at the German Design Awards, before, we believed our luck was already spent.

POC has been awarded silver at the German Design Award 2010 for the Receptor + helmet. One helmet developed and certified for a number modern actionsports, such as skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, biking and watersports such as wake or kiteboarding. Something thought to be impossible but thanks to convincement and perseverance, using existing POC patents and coming up with new patent pending solutions, we succeeded.

The Jury selected 25 winners, gold and silver, of the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. The winners will be presented at the award ceremony on 12 February 2010 at the opening of the Ambiente Trade Fair in Frankfurt,

The Prize of Prizes – a very special prize
The German Design Council, commissioned by the German Ministry of Economics and Technology, organises the Design Award annually for businesses and designers whose contributions are marked by a high level of design quality, utility, ecological quality and innovation. Entry is restricted to products which, over the last five years, have been awarded a prize for their design, either nationally or internationally. They are proposed for the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany by the German Minister of Economics or by the ministers and senators for economics of the individual German states. Among the many awards well established in Germany, the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany, due to its strict requirements, is regarded as the "prize of prizes".

The Jury
An independent jury of ten experts selects the winners of the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. The jury is made up of representatives from industry, the universities, the design world and the media. The jury is appointed by the Federal Minister of Economics and Technology for a period of four years.
