New products award : Heimplanet wins German design award

Heimplanet, the small marketer of inflatable tents, won yesterday the golden Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany for 2012 in the category of product design.

The jury granted the award to its ingeniously structured tent, The Cave, which was already a winner of the ISPO BRANDNEW awards two years ago.

The company is run by its founders, Stefan Clauss und Stefan Schulze Dieckhoff from Hamburg. They have recently added more products to Heimplanet’s collection of hardgoods to combine outdoor spirit, lifestyle and state-of-the-art design.

The Design Prize has been put out by the Federal Minister for Economy and Technology since 1969. Heimplanet secured the title against 700 applications and 72 finalists.
