What started in 1954 with the foundation of "Haus Industrieform" in Essen, with the intention of "facilitating an appropriate design of the environment for the public at large", has developed under the name Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen into a globally recognised qualification and communication centre for industry, politics and society. Since 1997, it has been based in the former boiler house of Zeche Zollverein, a mine complex included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list. There, in the red dot design museum the Design Zentrum presents the present and future of design.

Red Dot 21 - the Global Design Directory
The online platform “Red Dot 21” provides a unique stage for designers, independent design studios and manufacturers to present themselves and their products, as well as to demonstrate their design excellence. An entry in Red Dot 21 is not bound to a distinction in the Red Dot Award. However, laureates have the opportunity to integrate their winner labels in order to draw extra attention to their product’s design quality. Red Dot 21 thus offers a precisely fitting presentation space for those who aim to highlight the entire range of their design prowess and, along with that, benefit from the image of the Red Dot world.
Project planners, purchasing managers as well as journalists, inform themselves about the latest achievements worldwide in the most comprehensive Red Dot medium of contemporary design, while design enthusiasts browse through the directory and share their favourite pieces. Red Dot 21 is accompanied by editorial content, which delivers up-to-date news from the world of design and business, and links it with the entries in the design directory.
