Judging Qualities

Good design is multifaceted, and a product needs to be able to win over the Red Dot Jury on several levels. To do this, it must combine the four qualities of good design, described in more detail by Peter Zec in his book “The Form of Success” (2019):

•    The quality of function: What purpose does the product fulfil?
•    The quality of seduction: Is the product aesthetically convincing?
•    The quality of use: Is the product self-explanatory and easy to use?
•    The quality of responsibility: Is the product sustainable or durable?

These qualities are present in different proportions in each product, but none of the four aspects can be lacking entirely.
