今年的德國iF產品設計大獎(iF product design award)已經公佈了。自2001年開始,漢諾威(Hannover)的iF International Forum Design GmbH(iF;國際論壇設計股份有限公司)配合漢諾威工業貿易大展(Hannover Fair)評選出優秀的產品設計。成為僅次於紅點設計大獎(Red dot design award)的重要工業設計獎項。此外,每年另外選出50個產品頒發iF金獎(iF gold awards)。今年一共有十二個類別,計有821件產品得到iF產品設計大獎。台灣這次有5件產品得獎,包括大同電鍋。另外大同的VOIP手機則是得到了iF金獎。

Tatung has over 95% market share of rice cookers for the past 80 years in Taiwan due to its unique heating technique. The distinctive engineering design makes stewing and steaming perfect for Chinese cooking. Food heated by microwave would be dry but Tatung rice cooker keep the moist and taste. From the brand spirit of humbleness and reputation, the design gives a solid and durable presentation through simple shape. One piece side handles reduce the production pieces. Bakelite used on lid and side handle provides perfect heat insulation. The use of recyclable metal meets RoHS Directive and reduces the drain on the environment.
這個電鍋設計的頗具現代感。雖然我家現在還有十人份大同電鍋的"大橘"。不過這次的電鍋設計的確是吸引人很想買一個來試試。大同電鍋是留學生的好伴侶,已經變成一種傳奇,甚至在國外常常會接收到學長姐留下來的大同電鍋。雖然說功能很多,但我只用它來煮過飯,稀飯,偶爾蒸個蛋之類的。之前煮過紅豆湯非常失敗,反覆煮了三次才全熟。煮稀飯也不太容易成功。但是煮飯我倒是駕輕就熟,蒸蛋也很容易成功。也許下次應該要試試高難度一點的東西,把大同電鍋的功能發揮到極致。這次除了電鍋之外,大同的手機設計也讓人印象深刻。
這次50個iF金獎產品裡頭,德國佔20件,美國佔9件,荷蘭5件,日本4件。不過美國的得獎產品裡頭居然有8件是蘋果公司的產品,包含iPod touch,iPod classic,iPod nano,iPhone,和iMac等蘋果電腦公司的主流產品。不過感覺實在很膩就是了。但也不得不承認蘋果電腦的確在產品設計上面絞盡腦汁。但個人覺得,這50件得獎產品裡頭,還是大同的手機最亮眼。
