German Design Award 2012 Nominee
The German Design Award is considered to be an outstanding achievement
for design agencies contributing in the field of product and communication
design. The nomination and participation itself is an honor, as it is
required to be the winner of either a regional competition, a selection
process approved by the German Design Council or an international contest.
Centigrade was nominated for the German Design Award due to the iF communication design award they received in 2010 for the design of a touchscreen HMI.
