EON brings another Red Dot Award to the studio!
How can a forklift be reimagined through design?
In a time when digital tools dominate the conversation, we believe physical products and experiences — still matter deeply. Even in categories that are often overlooked or seen as purely functional. That’s why this project felt both intimidating and exciting to take on.
For us, EON was a chance to redefine what an electric forklift can be. From functionality and ergonomics to visual identity, every decision was intentional — resulting in a balanced and recognizable form, ready for the next era of work.
Now proud to share that EON has received a Red Dot Design Award 2025 🔴🏆

Together with Covid-19, the world we’ve known rapidly changed. Staying motivated and creative during these unprecedented times was not easy. But maybe experiencing the world in a new way and using creativity as a way of coping with all the stress and lockdowns were opening up new possibilities?
“ …Things were tough, uncertain and blurry. It was hard to be positive and feel motivated. There were some days I doubted myself and what I’m doing.
But between these bad days, there were also good days that I felt hopeful for the future, chose to focus on creativity, and used design as a tool to transform the negative into positive…”
As Fulden Dehneli mentioned above, there is always hope and “design” can easily lead the way to find a beacon of hope for a brighter and better future.
One of the first projects that was designed during these extraordinary times is GĀDO & KEN, a product duo for #Covid19 protection. Another exciting product, MICO, is a recent project that has not officially launched yet.
And what is common between these two? They both won a Red Dot Design Award! 4000+ entries over 50 countries. Only 319 of them were awarded, including these two designs.
