Design aesthetics is becoming the new universal language of the world. For each specific product, the combination of technology and art may have countless mountains to climb, but the dance between the two is one of the most beautiful embraces of our time.
On October 1st, Japan’s G-Mark Design Awards announced the winners of this year’s awards, and Bravat’s “Miranda Series Super Oxygen Kitchen Faucet” won the Good Design Award for glamorous design and quality, out of 4,769 entries from 974 companies worldwide. Design Awards. In the previous September, at the IDEA Design Awards, one of the most prestigious design awards in the United States, this product even won a gold medal for its exquisite craftsmanship and ergonomic design, making it one of the few kitchen and bathroom hardware products to win this award in 2020.
Although global integration has become a consensus in all fields, the cultural and aesthetic differences between East and West still exist in the general sense. This reflects that Bravat’s product quality and design level has been recognized by both the East and West design communities, and has become a model of global design for the bathroom industry.
Two Design Awards From The East And West
It’s Not Just About The “Good Looks” Of The Product.
Japan G-Mark Design Award, hookumuia ma 1957, is one of the most authoritative design awards in Asia. The jury of this year’s award is composed of 90 judges, 85 of whom are from Japan. Ma ka lima ʻē aʻe, the IDEA Design Award has become the trendsetter of industrial design in Europe and the United States since its inception in 1980, and among the 49 judges listed on the official website this year, more than 90% are from Europe and the United States.

Although there are differences in the backgrounds of the two awards, both juries focus on the user-friendly design and value of the product as one of the key points of evaluation. ʻo kahi laʻana, the IDEA Design Award in the United States is judged by the innovation of the design, value to the user, whether it conforms to the principle of ecology, environmental protection of production, appropriate aesthetics and visual appeal. The Japanese G-Mark Design Award also points out that the award is an activity to “enrich industrial production and living culture through design”. The award not only focuses on aesthetic design, but also conducts stringent assessment on quality, safety and performance.
Obviously, the criteria for the two major design awards in the East and West are no longer just “good looks”, but also the value that a product brings to users, the support it provides to life and culture, and the traction it has on the global industrial design scene. The fact that Bravat Miranda’s Super Oxygen Kitchen Faucet has won two design awards at the same time is one thing, but the humanistic concept behind the product and the integration of technological elements are also key.
Specifically, Bravat’s award-winning Miranda Kitchen Faucet is a home disinfection system with a simple, comfortable look and refined, lead-free copper technology, which incorporates ozone dissolving technology into daily life to ensure a healthy diet.
The product is simple to use. When the ozone generator under the sink is on, open the handle of the faucet and touch the O3 button on the faucet for about 3 seconds, the ozone water can be used. If you wash your hands, food, kitchen utensils with water in the super-oxygen mode for 10 seconds, you can eliminate or reduce 86% of microbial bacteria; if you wash with bubble bath for 10 seconds, you can eliminate or reduce 99.9% of microbial bacteria, effectively inhibit regeneration, as well as deodorize and remove pesticide residues.
