Three new exhibitions at the Red Dot Design Museum from 9 July 2025
From 9 July 2025, the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen will be presenting three new exhibitions featuring over 1,600 award-winning products from 43 countries. The exhibitions ‘Red Dot Milestones 2025–2026’ and ‘Design on Stage 2025–2026’ offer a comprehensive overview of current developments in international product design and will be on display until 31 May 2026. In addition, the museum will be showing the special exhibition ‘Adventure by Design’ by this year's Red Dot: Design Team of the Year, the BRP Design & Innovation Team from Canada, until 9 September 2025.
Opening day highlight: vehicle design in Hall 5
On the opening day, 9 July, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., visitors will have the opportunity to experience a selection of award-winning vehicles in Hall 5 opposite the museum entrance. The models on display include the Lamborghini Revuelto and the Porsche Macan Turbo.
Exhibition 1: ‘Red Dot Milestones 2025–2026’
The 89 best products of 2025 will be presented on the first floor of the museum. These milestones in international product design were selected by an international jury of experts from thousands of submissions from around the world and set new standards in their respective industries through their outstanding innovation and design.
Exhibition 2: ‘Design on Stage 2025–2026’
Spanning five floors, this exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of current trends and developments in product design. Visitors are first given an introduction to the basics of good design and can then discover the diversity of the award-winning products. Special attention is paid to the ‘four qualities of good design’ that every award-winning product embodies.
Exhibition 3: ‘Adventure by Design – BRP Design & Innovation Team’
The Canadian company BRP, known for its sports and recreational vehicles, was awarded the title Red Dot: Design Team of the Year 2025 for its outstanding design achievements. The special exhibition offers insights into the team's design processes and showcases award-winning products.
Until 13 July, various BRP vehicles, including snowmobiles, Ski-Doos and quads, will be on display in the museum's outdoor area. The Can-Am Pulse electric motorcycle, winner of the Red Dot: Best of the Best award, will also remain on display in the museum until the end of the Milestones exhibition.
