Sony Awarded 18 iF Design Awards, including THREE Golds!
18 Sony products have been honoured with iF Design Awards, out of which, three of them were awarded the prestigious gold award. The three products that were awarded the gold award were the PS-HX500 turntable, Future Lab Program™ T Interactive Projector and PlayStation®VR (PS VR) virtual reality system for PlayStation®4, from Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).
Here’s what the judges had to say for the gold awarded products:
PS-HX500 turntable and DSD recorder
[blockquote cite=”Martin Topel”]“The reduced appearance signalises precision and a high level of clarity, making it a visual reflection of the fundamental technical requirements of a DSD recorder.” [/blockquote]
PS VR Virtual Reality System
[blockquote cite=”Claus Jepsen, Brian Stephens and Jens Korte”]“The overall balance of black and white is appealing, while the confident use of thermoplastic materials is masterful. All of this comes at a price that is very affordable for the technology. This product brings VR to the masses.” [/blockquote]
Future Lab Program™ T Interactive Projector
[blockquote cite=”Albert Chen, Niklas Galler and Matthis Hamann”]“The execution is well suited for an innovative product and application, while the use of colors and materials mark an honest and clearly structured design approach. The design is clear, a logical reflection of the product’s superb functionality.”[/blockquote]

Pokdepinion: Sony does have cool designed products worthy of iF Design Awards! We took a spin of the MDR-1000X recently, have fiddled with the PSVR and played with several of their gears. However, the one that we were pretty much confident would obtain this award was the Future Lab Program™ T Interactive Projector. If you haven’t seen this one in action, you really MUST!
