Design and sustainability in harmony: Red Dot Design Award and German Design Award for the Revo.PRIME

Two of Germany’s most prestigious design awards go to the new Revo.PRIME revolving door by GEZE. The German Design Award in the Excellent Product Design – Building and Elements category and the Red Dot Design Award, also in the Product Design category. The two awards recognise outstanding design achievements, and are a seal of quality for high-quality and design-led products of distinction.

Fewer draughts plus lower energy consumption

With a canopy height of just 75 mm and narrow profiles of 60 mm, the design-oriented revolving door solution ensures maximum transparency. The Revo.PRIME thus creates a highlight even in the building’s entrance area – including all the benefits of reducing draughts as well as dirt and noise. The Revo.PRIME also makes a considerable contribution to saving energy. In fact thanks to its reduced power consumption, it needs a huge 30 per cent less in comparison with earlier models.

Top for comfort and transparency

The new ceiling construction on the door itself also enables the Revo.PRIME to be used in highly constrained spaces. The narrow profile views on the door leaf and side panels enhance the visually appealing impression and increase transparency. Thanks to the brushless motor, it scores highly thanks to exceptionally high access convenience. Connection to building automation systems is possible. It is thus ideally suited for use in hotels and shopping centres, as well as office and administrative buildings.

Favourite of design-oriented architects and building contractors

Precisely these features make the Revo.PRIME the favourite of design-oriented architects and building contractors – and earned it the two coveted design awards. The German Design Award jury praised the “high degree of transparency” in particular, and with it, the “pleasant feeling when walking through”. The jury's verdict on the Red Dot Design Award singled out the high design quality in particular.
