Design is illogical. Precisely that is its essential quality.

Red Dot Award is one of the world’s most recognized design prizes, awarded by the Design Centre in Essen (Germany), and Red Dot acts as a promoter and supporter of the design industry.

The Red Dot award for product design was established back in 1954 while the award for communication design was introduced in 1993, and the youngest but equally attractive award is the one for concept design, established in 2005. Essen Design Zentrum’s executive chairman, Vito Orazem, was one of our much anticipated lecturers 2011. Vito  Orazem studied media science, art theory, literature and is highly experienced in design promotion. Prior to his coming to Belgrade, he presented the ADMIRE project (Award for Design Management Innovating and Reinforcing Enterprises) at the Slovenian 23rd Biennale of Industrial Design. Vito  Orazem came to Belgrade to present the history and the concept of Red Dot to a curious BDW audience.

Beograd is a regional centre and BDW is really professional and sympathy all over to me. Major compliments to all, you're doing a great pioneering job. Such a pity that local business and government still don't grasp the real importance and potential of it. If countries like UK, DK, NL support it, this is because it is quality; Serbia should support it because it is important and (more) Serbian companies should participate to reap the benefits in cooperation with Serbian designers. So what is smart in this consequence? Insert the BDW logo with the year 2011.
