KONE Corporation, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, has
won two awards in the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025
competition. In the Interior Design Elements category, the award went to KONE
Entrance, a programmable guiding light for elevator doorways. KONE also won in
the Sustainable Design category with Interact 30 DOP, a new destination
operating panel.
KONE Entrance is an illuminated elevator door frame that uses animated light to
facilitate orientation in the waiting area in front of elevators. The jury
applauded KONE Entrance for increasing orientation, efficiency and design
quality in the elevator area.
KONE Interact 30 DOP is an intelligent destination control system that enables
smooth people flow in buildings. Thanks to its timeless philosophy, precise
workmanship, and enduring values, it remains relevant and long-lasting for years
to come. Reflecting these qualities, the jury praised KONE Interact 30 for its
timeless aesthetics and contribution to greater sustainability in building
technology.
