red dot design museum in Germany and in Singapore

Design on stage...

Stylish setting for design products –

the red dot design museum in Germany

With its more than 1,500 exhibits on an area of more than 4,000 square metres the red dot design museum is the largest exhibition of contemporary design worldwide. For at least one year, all the products that have received a red dot will be exhibited here in the breath-taking setting of the former Zeche Zollverein colliery, which has been part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage since 2001.

The museum-like atmosphere of the building is mostly the result of its impressive architecture. The former boiler house of the Zeche Zollverein colliery was redesigned for the red dot design museum by the British architect Lord Norman Foster. It is one of the most impressive industrial buildings of the first half of the 20th century and is often with awe referred to as a “cathedral of industrial culture.”

The red dot design museum is a magnet for design and architecture lovers and records more than 120,000 visitors annually.

Creative centre in the heart of Asia – the red dot design museum in Singapore

In November 2005, a second red dot design museum opened in Singapore. It is located in the red dot Traffic, an impressive colonial style building which used to be the headquarters of the traffic police. Today, the building painted in bright red is the creative centre of Singapore and the red dot museum is its main attraction. Apart from the red dot design museum the red dot Traffic houses creative companies such as advertising agencies and design studios.

The red dot design museum in Singapore also offers the winners of the red dot award: product design the unique opportunity to present their prize-winning products to the Asian public at the Asian hub, in the heart of the booming city state of Singapore.
