Aircraft interiors, luxury residences and yacht fittings manufacturer F/LIST has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2023 for its bio-based material F/LIST Aenigma.
The Red Dot Design Award recognises outstanding design achievements in various categories and F/LIST says its Aenigma received the award for its exceptional design and high-quality features. It was named the winner of the “Product Design” category.
F/LIST says the company’s Aenigma product is a revolutionary material that is engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and durability.
The decorative material uses traditional jewellery techniques and aerospace technology with cutting-edge chemistry to combine elements as varied as F/LIST stone by-products and ground mother-of-pearl.
“The incredible blend has evolved into a technical, glamorous material that would be as at home on the catwalk as on the runway. With this material, we are only scratching the surface; the market potential for customers is endless,” Melanie Prince, Head of Innovation F/LIST said.
According to the company, metallic manta ray skin, glistening geometric patterns and textured glowing surfaces form the basis of the limitless range of possibilities which can be customised with colour, texture, and thickness for use on any surface.
Aenigma is a lightweight and flexible material that can be used for a wide range of applications, including aircraft interiors. The material is made from a combination of high-performance fibres and a special resin matrix that provide excellent resistance to wear, tear and impact.
“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award,” says Katharina List-Nagl, CEO of F/LIST. “It is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in design. We are proud to offer our customers a material that combines cutting-edge technology with outstanding performance and is also sustainable.”
