iF product design awardaward

In 2006, AURUS was awarded with the Golden iF Statuette in the consumer electronics/telecommunications category for outstanding design achievement. After the CANTUS in 1997, this is the second time that a console by Stage Tec has received this coveted award. As with the CANTUS, AURUS product design was developed by Arno Schünemann from Schünemann DesignSolutions, Berlin.

Decisive aspects included the design quality, workmanship, choice of materials, degree of innovation, environmental friendliness, functionality, ergonomics, visualisation of use, safety, and brand value/branding.

The 20 jurors – recognised design experts from all over the world - judged almost 2,000 products from 37 countries in a number of categories. The iF product design award is awarded every year by the iF Industrie Forum Design Hannover. Since its inauguration in 1954, the award has become a major international award for quality design.
