A Recognition for Outstanding Design
The Red Dot Award is regarded worldwide as one of the most prestigious honors for design excellence. Each year, the search is on for top-tier products that excel not only in aesthetic appeal but also in functionality, sustainability, and innovation. With its blend of elegant design and eco-friendly production, the Sonnenglas® Light Carafe impressed the judging panel.
As a globally acknowledged seal of quality, the Red Dot Award underscores the outstanding caliber of our products. This win showcases that anyone can trust both the remarkable design and sustainable values of our Light Carafes. Thanks to their refined look and practical functionality, they bring a stylish touch to any home while actively helping protect our planet. As Red Dot Design Award recipients, we’re setting new standards in aesthetics and environmental responsibility and we invite everyone to join us on this journey. Let’s create a future in which design is not just beautiful, but also meaningful.
What Makes Our Light Carafes Special
A Versatile Piece and the Highlight of Any Dinner Setting
Our Sonnenglas® Light Carafe truly does it all. Made from 100% recycled glass collected in Eswatini and hand-blown under fair-trade conditions by the talented artists at Ngwenya Glass, it serves as a stylish everyday pitcher. Then, in a flash (quite literally thanks to the built-in metal contact in the carafe’s neck), it transforms into an atmospheric table lamp by simply attaching the SOMO Solar Light. The interplay of light and glass creates a magical ambiance, reflecting our philosophy that design should be not only beautiful but also impactful.
Eyes on the Future
These honors inspire us to keep delighting the design world in the years to come. We look forward with pride and determination, continuing to create products that captivate both the eye and the heart. The Red Dot Design Award marks another milestone on our journey—a journey we want to embark on together with you and everyone striving to create a brighter future. Because for us, sustainable design means going beyond just making practical products. We live by the principle of “Impact by Design”: for you, for the people who create these products, and for our planet.
