The Boiler House was once Zollverein’s “power house” — its central energy plant. Today, the Red Dot Design Museum provides creative inspiration for design. Here, historic industrial culture and modern design culture come together.
Within this imposing architecture, the museum presents around 2,000 award-winning products, making it the world’s largest exhibition of contemporary design. From taps to toothbrushes and everything in between – smartphones and headphones, lighting and seating, bicycles and backpacks, kitchen and household appliances.
The entire exhibition changes once a year. A striking contrast between old and new, tradition and innovation.
