Dyson Airblade™ Wins DesignEX New Product Award

Take a stroll down any of the isles at DesignEX and you’re sure to be inspired by the new and innovative products on display. It’s Australia’s most prestigious design-focused trade event, drawing industry luminaries for an annual insight into the latest products to hit the market here. 

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, DesignEX has paid tribute to 20 years of design excellence, with an impressive design tunnel featuring key icons during this time. Included in this exhibition is the Dyson DC01, which revolutionised the humble vacuum cleaner forever.

It is hoped that Dyson’s first commercial design, the Airblade™ hand dryer, launching into the public eye at this year’s DesignEX is set to create the same revolution in hand drying. The product is off to a good start, picking up a coveted Product of the Year Award in the bathroom category.
 
The awards are judged for their overall excellence in design, encompassing a complete design philosophy of manufacturer, innovation, ergonomics, functionality, durability, safety and environmental sensitivity.

‘All of these criteria are at the heart of the Dyson design process,’ says Ross Cameron, Managing Director, Dyson SEA. ‘It’s the complete design philosophy that we pass onto our own design team, and that we encourage through the education initiatives we run globally.’

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer wipes hands dry with a high-velocity sheet of air in just 10 seconds. It’s fast. It includes a HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of bacteria from the air before blowing it back onto hands. It’s hygienic. It uses up to 75% less energy than warm air hand dryers. It’s energy efficient.
