For the third consecutive year, HIDEO has been honoured at the German Design Award. The brand secured three awards in the "Excellent Product Design - Bath and Wellness" category.
The TR-1500-E/Trono Bio bathtub earned the Gold Award, marking the first time HIDEO has received this top honour. The jury praised the TR-1500-E/Trono Bio, crafted from CRISTALPLANT® BIOBASED® Active, for its innovative blend of round and square design elements that offer two distinct bathing experiences, along with a mid-body seat promoting relaxation and water conservation.
Additionally, the ES-1600-E/Essenza and PC-A900/Piccola bathtubs were both recognised for their design excellence. The ES-1600-E/Essenza was commended for its sculptural yet delicate design, combining aesthetic forms with functional elements that provide body support. The PC-A900/Piccola was noted for its compact shape and traditional Japanese inspiration, providing a comfortable immersion experience with a water volume of just 190 litres.
The awards were received by Hideo Shimizu, the founder of the brand and designer behind the collection.
HIDEO also announced that the TR-1500-E/Trono Bio will be presented at HIDEO Milano Studio during Milan Design Week 2025, with deliveries expected to begin in summer 2025.
