Red Dot GmbH & Co. KG, commonly known as Red Dot, is a Germany-based organization that runs the Red Dot Design Award, a global competition recognizing excellence in product design, brands and communication design, and design concepts. The awards span a wide range of sectors—from consumer and industrial goods to packaging and materials-related applications—providing an independent benchmark for design quality across international markets.
Red Dot convenes expert juries to assess entries, licenses the Red Dot quality label to winning submissions, and disseminates results through exhibitions and publications, including museum showcases and yearbooks. Its activities connect manufacturers, brand owners, design agencies, and academia, offering recognition and visibility for high-quality design that is often applied in industrial, packaging, and sustainability-focused contexts relevant to the broader materials and chemical value chains.
