Innovative Eyewear has landed a Red Dot Award for Product Design for its Lucyd Armor smart safety glasses, adding a well-recognised international design accolade to the Nasdaq-listed company’s growing roster of honours.
The Red Dot Award, established in Germany in 1955, recognises products that demonstrate excellence in both functional and aesthetic design, with past recipients including some of the world’s largest technology and consumer goods businesses.
The win follows the company’s recent Retailer’s Choice Award from the North American Hardware and Paint Association for the same Armor product line.
Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, commented on the award, “I am thrilled to receive our first Red Dot Award, a major achievement in the world of industrial design. This is a wonderful milestone recognizing our significant efforts to make smartglasses more appealing and useful for the average person.”
“We look forward to continuing to evolve our products to build a global standard in smart eyewear. This is not only for our ambitions as a company, but because of our belief that glasses are one of the most important medical and fashion accessories on the planet. I am incredibly grateful for our amazing team’s work on Lucyd Armor.”
Innovative Eyewear develops and manufactures smart eyewear across its Lucyd, Lucyd Armor, Reebok, Nautica and Eddie Bauer brands, with the Armor line leading the way in terms of growth for the group.
The group recently announced a 63% increase in full-year revenue to $2.7m.
