Lock&Lock Boroseal II – major success in the red dot award: product design 2011

Lock&Lock Glass Euro (Boroseal II) from Lock&Lock Co.,Ltd. clearly convinced the judges: in the red dot design award, one of the most renowned international product competitions, Lock&Lock Glass Euro (Boroseal II) series has now been awarded the “red dot” seal of quality for high design quality by the jury with its panel of highly respected experts. More than 1,000 guests from the world of design, industry, society and media will celebrate the winners of the red dot design award on 4 July 2011, which traditionally takes place in Essen’s opera house, Aalto Theater. Lock&Lock Glass Euro (Boroseal II) will then be put on public display during a four-week special exhibition in the red dot design museum.

Lock&Lock Glass Euro (Boroseal II) made of heat resistant borosilicate glass is designed to be used in oven and microwave, on table and even in freezer safely and conveniently. Unlike normal or tempered glassware, this product can withstand sudden change in temperature, thus it could be used not only in a refrigerator, a microwave and a dishwasher but also in a 400°C oven. And differentiated from normal glass bakeware, this product is air-tight and liquid-tight with the unique 4-side locking system, so it keeps food fresh longer. In addition to that function, attractive scalloped lid adds elegant style. Its transparent glass base makes it easy to see contents in the refrigerator. This product’s borosilicate glass body is salt, oxidation, stain and odor resistant.

Moreover, Lock&Lock’s dust bin, Bynn, has been also selected by the juries for red dot winner 2011 with the concept of “well-matched to anywhere”.

“As always, our jury cast a very careful eye over the products submitted. Design quality has asserted itself clearly in the judging process, with genuine and new creative solutions also being rewarded. Both of these criteria are not just yardsticks for good design, but also for the potential for success on the market. This potential is increased several times over by the targeted use of our renowned design award”, says Professor Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the red dot design award. This year, designers and companies from 60 countries entered 4,433 products in the red dot award: product design.
