Red Dot: Design Team of the Year 2022

Philips Experience Design Team led by Sean Carney

The Philips Experience Design Team led by Sean Carney has been awarded the honorary title “Red Dot: Design Team of the Year 2022”. 

Lots of companies claim to want to change the world. In most cases, very little happens apart from the lip service paid to the idea of solidarity. But for Philips, empathy and ethics are not just a corporate communications or public relations exercise. Over the past ten years, Philips has transitioned from a mixed industrial group with very different business fields to a leader in health technology. One of the ways this was achieved was by incorporating design and technology into the corporate strategy. Another was the fundamental shift in the understanding of design brought about by the involvement of Sean Carney. The Philips Experience Design Team works under his leadership. The team members are interested in good design and innovative solutions that improve the quality of life, well-being and health of billions of people.

This year’s honorary title “Red Dot: Design Team of the Year 2022” is being bestowed on the Philips Experience Design Team under the leadership of Sean Carney in recognition of their successful design-led transition.

“We are designing with meaning and purpose.”

Sean Carney, Chief Experience Design Officer at Philips
