Stala is proud to announce that the Stala ONE inset sinks and accessories have received a Red Dot in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 – a globally recognized seal of outstanding design quality.
The Red Dot Award: Product Design is one of the world’s most esteemed design competitions, honoring innovation, functionality, and aesthetics since 1955. In 2025, the international jury – composed of 43 independent experts from 21 countries – evaluated thousands of entries from over 60 nations. Each submission was assessed based on four key design principles: function, seduction, use, and responsibility.
Receiving this award highlights Stala’s commitment to combining Nordic design with sustainable functionality. Stala ONE represents a new era of kitchen solutions – elegant, smart, and thoughtfully engineered to meet the needs of modern users.
“We are deeply honored to receive the Red Dot Award for the second time. It is a testament to our team's dedication to creating products that are not only practical but also beautiful and responsible,” says Pasi Härkönen, Managing Director at Stala.
STALA ONE embodies the essence of Nordic design – seamlessly combining functionality with Scandinavian minimalism and modern installation methods. The product family places sustainability at the heart of its concept, taking it into account in every stage: production processes, energy sources, material use, and packaging design.
The result is the market’s first fully climate-reduced stainless steel sinks, demonstrating Stala’s commitment to the climate journey and the principle of continuous improvement.
Key achievements include:
This is Stala’s second Red Dot Award, reinforcing the company’s position at the forefront of Nordic design.
