Blaupunkt was recently honored with four awards for outstanding product design.
Once again among the winners of the prestigious Red Dot Award, Blaupunkt celebrated recognition for three products in the Product Design category this year: an induction hob with an integrated extractor hood, the new wine drawer and the Tirreno Edition for sinks and taps. In addition, Blaupunkt was honored with the Plus X Award for Best Brand of the Year 2026 in the hobs category.
Blaupunkt wine drawer: sophisticated wine cooling in a modern design
The Red Dot jury recognized the Blaupunkt wine drawer as a new standout in the field of wine cooling. This elegant wine drawer offers the functionality of a fully-fledged wine fridge while combining it with the compact form of a drawer. This modern, newly designed product can accommodate up to five bottles, with the temperature adjustable flexibly to suit requirements between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius. The electronic opening mechanism ensures maximum ease of use, and the glass viewing window always allows a view of the wine collection. In addition to its space-saving design, it was highlighted for its clean lines and precise temperature control – features that enable the wine drawer to translate classic wine cooling into a modern format.
Blaupunkt Tirreno: Timeless design in elegant colors for the sink
With the new, PVD-coated Lago sink and the matching Liro tap, Blaupunkt has won a Red Dot Award in the sink design category. The sink’s elegant PVD finish, available in dark steel and copper, offers first-class material quality that combines scratch resistance and high stain resistance with color fastness and a lasting gloss effect. The stylish, minimalist design offers a timelessly modern aesthetic that not only impresses with its durability but is also easy to maintain. The same applies to the PVD-coated Liro PO tap, which harmonizes perfectly with the sink in terms of color and material. The jury was impressed by the combination of aesthetics and practicality for everyday use.
“The Blaupunkt Edition Tirreno is a stylish sink combination that impresses with its elegant design and durable materials,” the jury explained in its statement.
Induction hob: aesthetics meet functionality
The IX80290ME induction hob with integrated extractor hood, which won the third Red Dot Award, is part of the new Blaupunkt Matt Edition, which combines an elegant look with practical everyday features, such as reduced fingerprint marks and exceptional scratch resistance. An unobtrusive, concealed control panel with white LED lighting, which is invisible when switched off, discreetly controls both the cooking and extraction functions while preserving the hob’s clean design. In addition, the hob offers a dual boost function for all induction zones, a special Cooking Chef mode and a grill function. Another special feature is the option to flexibly combine two cooking zones into one large zone.
Plus X Award – Best Brand of the Year 2026 in the Hob category
With the overall Best Brand of the Year 2026 award from the Plus X jury, Blaupunkt has won a fourth award recognizing the overall quality of its hobs. The assessment criteria included technological performance, user-friendliness, build quality and design excellence. With this award, the jury recognizes the successful combination of technical precision, contemporary design and high practicality for everyday use with which Blaupunkt develops modern hob solutions.
According to the jury, “With powerful technology, well-thought-out functions and reliable quality, the brand sets new standards – and thus deserves the award for Best Brand of the Year 2026.”
Recognition that motivates
Olaf Thuleweit, managing director of HK Appliances, was delighted with the awards and emphasized their motivational value.
“Four awards in a single year are a special endorsement of our work for our entire team,” said Thuleweit. “They demonstrate that our products impress not only through their design, but also through their functionality and the added value they offer in everyday life. This success spurs us on to continue developing solutions with passion that enrich our customers’ kitchen experience.”
