The company BORA received special recognition with the Plus X Award for the “Best Brand of the Year” in the product category “cooktop extractor”. This award highlights the exceptionally rigorous and succinct brand positioning and brand management strategies that are considerable success factors for BORA.
BORA Classic 2.0 wins the Plus X Award for the “Best Product of the Year 2019”. The “Best Product of the Year” is the highest accolade that a product can receive in the case of the Plus X Award, the biggest innovation award worldwide for technology, sport and lifestyle. The fact that BORA Classic 2.0 has received so many awards in a short space of time is proof of our outstanding sense of innovation. It reconfirms BORA’s claim, showing that we go the extra mile and are seen as a benchmark.
With the Red Dot Award Product Design 2019 the two new product developments, BORA Classic 2.0 and BORA Pure, snatched up the coveted award immediately at market launch. The Red Dot Award: Product Design is one of the biggest design competitions worldwide. In 2019, designers and manufacturers from 55 countries entered more than 5,500 products for the award. The international jury, made up of experienced experts from different specialist areas, has been gathering for over 60 years to find the best, most revolutionary product designs.
The product development involved in BORA Classic 2.0 is directed towards the company’s uncompromising mission to be the driving force of innovative product design and technology. The central operating unit of the modular cooktop extractor system is a true innovation with its new vertical slider (sControl+). All important operating functions are available at the push of a button and the context sensitivity, which uses colours, dark/light switching, acoustic signals and targeted animations, makes day-to-day use as easy as pie. BORA Classic 2.0 was recognised for this with the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD.
Maximum flexibility and individuality for a unique cooking experience at home—that was the benchmark in the development of the BORA Classic 2.0. The result is an unprecedented cooktop extractor system that has been thought through to the smallest detail and has no equal. Just introduced to the market, the new product already won its first award: BORA Classic 2.0 is one of the winners of the 2019 ICONIC AWARDS
