HAFI Design 216 wins German Design Award 2025
HAFI is pleased to announce that the Design 216 has been honoured as the winner of the German Design Award 2025 in the category ‘Excellent Product Design – Building and Elements’.
German Design Award: The award for excellent design
The German Design Award is the premium prize of the German Design Council and sets international standards for innovative design developments and competitiveness in the global market. It honours visionary designs with great future potential and places the highest demands on the selection of its award winners.
A new interpretation of the diamond structure: How ‘The Cradle’ influenced the HAFI Design 216
The HAFI Design 216 was inspired in part by the striking wooden façade of ‘The Cradle’ building in Düsseldorf, designed by HPP Architekten. In particular, the diamond-shaped elements of the exterior facade were integrated into the design of the door handle. In this way, the structure of the handle contributes to the characteristic look, while the overall design is given its unique character by other elements.
Variety of colours and materials for maximum individuality
With a wide range of elegant colour combinations such as PVD black, bronze, brass, rose gold and matt brushed stainless steel, the HAFI Design 216 allows for individual design. In future, the design line will be extended to include materials such as wood and carbon handle. This combination of innovative colour and material selection creates elegance and gives every door an individual touch.
Versatile areas of application for consistent aesthetics and the highest normative requirements
HAFI Design 216 comprises product solutions for windows, interior doors, profile doors and lift and slide doors. Thanks to the cross-trade design, a consistent aesthetic is created that is not only visually appealing, but also meets the highest standardised requirements of DIN 18273 and DIN EN 1906 in terms of functionality. The standard-compliant combination options ensure a harmonious overall concept that combines design and function without compromise.
