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. 

Der German Design Award, verliehen vom Rat für Formgebung, zählt zu den angesehensten internationalen Designpreisen. Seit seiner Einführung im Jahr 2012 identifiziert der Award maßgebliche Gestaltungstrends und fördert außergewöhnliche Designleistungen in den Kategorien Produktdesign, Kommunikationsdesign und Architektur. Für das Jahr 2025 wurden Produkte und Projekte aus 59 Ländern eingereicht, wobei der Anteil internationaler Einreichungen bei 48 % lag. Die Auswahl der Preisträger erfolgt durch eine internationale Jury, die aus führenden Fachleuten aller Design-Disziplinen besteht und sich durch einen klaren Fokus auf die Bedürfnisse von Kund*innen und Märkten auszeichnet. Der German Design Award hebt nicht nur herausragende Designqualität hervor, sondern betont auch die transformative Kraft des Designs zur nachhaltigen Transformation der Wirtschaft.

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.
