HAG has received the prestigious international red dot design award: product design for its HAG Futu office chair. The red dot design award is one of the world’s most widely recognised design competitions and it gives HAG’s focus on Scandinavian design a European breakthrough.

The red dot design award is given for high quality design. It is an international mark of quality, awarded by an international jury only to products whose unique design marks them out as clearly different from comparable products. The jury judges the products on the basis of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, the environment and user-friendliness. This year’s jury had to decide between 4,525 products from 1,636 companies in 57 countries.

HAG’s Futu is an elegant work chair that looks impressively simple from the outside, but has all functionality built inside the chair. The details have been perfected over several years’ development and the chair is now being launched internationally.
