CLASSEN receives the German Design Award 2025 for CERAMIN

On October 14, 2024, the innovative material CERAMIN received the German Design Award in the “Winner” category due to its exceptional design quality and sustainable properties. The German Design Award sets standards for innovative design developments and honors products that impress with their innovative approaches and functional design and thus make a positive contribution to the sustainable transformation of the economy. 

The German Design Award, presented by the German Design Council, is one of the most prestigious international design prizes. Since its launch in 2012, the award has identified key design trends and promoted exceptional design achievements in the categories of product design, communication design and architecture. Products and projects from 59 countries were submitted for 2025, with international submissions accounting for 48%. The award winners are selected by an international jury made up of leading experts from all design disciplines and characterized by a clear focus on the needs of customers and markets. The German Design Award not only highlights outstanding design quality, but also emphasizes the transformative power of design for the sustainable transformation of the economy.

CERAMIN was honored with the “Winner” award, as the material impresses with its innovative properties and outstanding design. The PVC-free material consists largely of recycled material and combines an environmentally friendly composition of 60% mineral filler and 40% polypropylene (PP). This combination makes CERAMIN not only a sustainable alternative to conventional wall and floor coverings, but also an extremely robust and hard-wearing product. Its exceptional dimensional stability and high resistance to moisture and abrasion are further factors that convinced the jury. 

In addition to the German Design Award, CERAMIN has received numerous other awards in recent years, including the Green Collection Award, the German Innovation Award, the Eifel Award and the Interzum Award. These awards are proof of CERAMIN's high level of innovation and the CLASSEN Group's ongoing commitment to high-quality and sustainable flooring solutions.
