The awards continue to roll in for Bromic Heating’s revolutionary Tungsten Smart-Heat™portable heater. Last year, it received the Good Design®Award, and this year, it earned the prestigious Red Dot Award.

The 2015 Red Dot Awards brought together 38 internationally and professionally diverse experts in design to appraise 4,928 entries from 56 countries, assessing products in areas such as ergonomics, innovation, functionality, durability, and quality. In recent years, Design Concept and Communication Design Awards have been added to honor excellence in these areas, but the core of Red Dot is its Product Design Award, an accolade that fewer than one fourth of entrants were lucky enough to earn.

Peter Zec, Red Dot’s founder and CEO, says, “Receiving a distinction at the Red Dot Awards confirms the quality of a product and communicates its success in a contemporary way, thus setting it apart from the masses,” before noting the organization’s role as an ambassador for the natural success of innovative design in the marketplace. He adds, “Innovation is not always visible with the naked eye. Often, it is hidden aspects, such as a refined technology inside the product or an improved combination of materials, that constitute a lucid (and sometimes, brilliant) new development.”

Bromic’s Tungsten Smart-Heat portable heater’s directional delivery of radiant heat in an elegantly ergonomic package resonated with the jury for this reason and was recognized for its revolutionary rethinking of portable outdoor heating. Differentiated from competitor products not only through drastically different design, but also through technological superiority in performance and efficiency, the Tungsten Smart-Heat portable practically personifies the Red Dot Award’s core values, making it an obvious choice in the category of heating and air-conditioning technology.

Scott Smith, Bromic Heating’s managing director, says, “Bromic Heating’s hard-working engineering team strives for design intelligence in all aspects of product development. Our heaters are visually attractive, but strong design is more than that.”

He continues, “Through thorough research and development, we have created a comprehensive range of technologically advanced gas, electric, and portable heaters that not only look great, but drastically outperform anything else on the market. We intentionally designed the Tungsten Smart-Heat portable to shake up the aesthetically stagnant portable–outdoor-heating industry, so to see it displayed as the work of art we always intended it to be, alongside other examples of exceptional design at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany, is an absolute honor.”
