Vimar has once again been confirmed, for the fifth year, amid the stars of the prestigious Iconic Awards, the international contest, promoted by the German Design Council, which awards the best “iconic architecture” projects. From construction, to building conversions, product design, the design of interiors, image and materials, the award considers the world of design in an elaborate manner, awarding the finest innovations and virtuous experiments thanks to a jury comprising a panel of industry experts.
It is specifically thanks to its ability to come up with unprecedented and elegant solutions that Vimar was this year too awarded two separate mentions in the product category: the “winner” award for the Eikon Exé series with Tondo controls, which completes the range of Vintage and Flat controls, and the “selection” award for the new Roxie video entrance panel. The international jury appreciated the Eikon Exé series for the curved aesthetics of the Tondo control, capable of delivering an enveloping effect on the eye. Elegant and discrete, inspired by the classic round-shaped controls with backlighting around the button and a choice of LED colours. Made of metal and always featuring matching control and cover plate, it creates a sophisticated Total Look that ensures aesthetic consistency in all 6 variants: Matt white, Anthracite Grey, Brushed nickel, Brushed dark bronze, polished Gold and satin Gold. Also available in the KNX and By-me Plus version for home&building automation, Tondo control challenges the rigidity of conventional shapes and its round silhouette represents the harmonious blend of modern technology and organic architecture reminiscent of the soft contours of nature.
The second mention highlights the versatility of the new Roxie video entrance panel with Due Fili Plus technology, a product that brings together robust design and state-of-the-art technology to offer a safe and smart access control and call management system. It is especially suited to small accommodation facilities that are unmanned or without a reception, where access control can be operated using RFID tags (digital proximity keys), transponder cards or remotely in smart mode with the new View Key App. Roxie allows the user to open doors to rooms and communal areas directly from their smartphone and the facility manager to coordinate access on the part of guests or customers on-line via the View cloud portal.
Thanks to this significant Iconic Awards acknowledgement, which over more than 10 years of history has become a major benchmark in the world of architecture, the Eikon Exé series with Tondo controls and the Roxie video entrance panel are among the cutting-edge products of international architecture: yet another success for Vimar and further confirmation of its unstoppable development path in the world of design.
