iF product design award winner

iF – product design award: Awarded according to clear criteria

The iF product design award (www.ifdesign.de) awarded by the iF International Forum Design in Hanover is one of the oldest and most important design competitions in the world. A product honoured with the iF product design award has proven its added value for both developers and users, because the seal of approval guarantees that: This product is of "outstanding use"!

International experts deliberate for three days before selecting the winners of the iF product design award in 17 different categories. The jury observes, touches, tries out, analyses, discusses – and awards the iF product design award in accordance with clear criteria: Design quality, workmanship, material selection and degree of innovation are closely examined, as well as environmental compatibility, functionality and ergonomics. Other factors include visualisation of how the product is used, safety, brand value, branding and the universal design of the product.

TENTE Linea, Integral and 5320 - our castors are convincing

Three TENTE products have already won this prestigious award: the Linea twin castor series, the 5320 series designer castors and the Integral hospital bed castor. The TENTE Linea castor made of high-quality plastic impressed the jury with its extremely high load capacity, outstanding running performance and modern design. The Linea castor is available in numerous variants for various applications, even for special purposes like a particularly low construction height, which is only a few millimetres above the wheel diameter.

The 5320 castor series impresses with its functional and simple design. High-quality bearings ensure smooth running properties. Various fitting options guarantee a secure footing. The 5320 series castors are ideal for design furniture, trolleys and medical equipment.

The Integral hospital bed castor is one of our classics: This castor has been in existence since 1950’s and has been continuously developed since then. According to the jury, the new Integral smart has a discreet design language and a simple, elegant exterior and thus enhances the appearance of differenthospital beds and is why the castor was awarded the iF product design award.
