red dot: Why did you take part in the red dot award: product design – what is it that makes this design competition special?

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: Because of the breakdown into product categories, each product is regarded in an international context that makes direct competition and comparison possible.

red dot: For us, winning the red dot: best of the best is …

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: A surprise that confirms the value of our work!

red dot: To what extent do you think the red dot: best of the best award will help you / your company to succeed on the global market?

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: We will be better able to answer that question in a few months time!

red dot: What inspired you to create your product, and what is it about your product that is special?

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: During one of our draft design phases, we met in the Hunsrück region. While we were there, we had a barbeque and were philosophizing that the problem with conventional barbeques is that you can either eat or enjoy the warmth but not both – and we came to the conclusion that there must be a solution whereby it is possible to enjoy the romance of a campfire for even longer …

This discussion resulted in the ‘prototype’ for our long-lasting barbeque.

red dot: What were the special challenges of realizing your product?

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: We had to test the functionality of each prototype in detail, because even the tiniest change in measurement resulted in new features. The result is that we have almost developed an allergy to barbecued sausage!

red dot: Which design philosophy influences your work?

Möbel-Liebschaften Design Team: Our products are the result of experience and everyday observations. Our draft designs don't tend to stem from the sterile environment of an office. Instead, we prefer to design while cooking or hiking, e.g. in <state w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Alsace</place></state>, or when waiting for the green light (that has already turned green!)…

We try to design all products so that they fit in as if they had always existed.

It goes without saying that we also want to make our customers addicted – and in some cases we have already succeeded!
