Stainless steel products figure in seven German Steel Innovation Awards Por Ulrich Heubner
Revista de Níquel, Julio 2006 -- The German Steel Innovation Awards, which are presented every three years, attracted 620 entries in 2006. The awards are intended to encourage the use of steel over a broad range of products. Fourteen prizes are awarded in five categories: architecture, building and construction; design with steel; research and development; steel products with improved or new applications; and a special prize for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Stainless steel products were involved in seven awards:
- An oil-burning double-shell "mono-concave" flame bowl for decorative purposes (pictured here), presented by Mono, Industriestrasse 5, D- 40822 Mettmann, Germany
- A special rain shower installation for luxury bathrooms, presented by Aloys F. Dornbracht GmbH & Co. KG, Köbbingser Mühle 6, D-58640 Iserlohn, Germany
- A wire fabric "media mesh" designed to cover the facades of buildings and, due to integrated illuminated diodes, to carry changing colours or messages, visible over long distances, presented by GKD - Gebr. Kufferath AG, Metallweberstrasse 46, D- 52353 Düren, Germany
