Good News for the Housing Sector As Dura Wins Design Industry “Oscar”

July 1, 2009 - PRLog -- UK workshop furniture systems company, Dura Ltd, has landed the accolade of a top design award to help in their drive for worldwide success.

As designers and manufacturers of automotive workshop cabinetry as well as custom-made residential garage storage, Dura is proud to have scooped the prestigious design industry “Oscar” the Red Dot award - an international seal of quality for exceptional product design, awarded in Essen this week.

Judged by an international panel of design experts, the Red Dot competition takes into account form, function, ergonomics and worldwide commercial potential and is hotly contended by some of the world’s best known brand names and international product design experts.

Dura’s high quality steel furniture in its commercial capacity is known as “The Integrated Workshop System”. Installed into car service workshops worldwide, the quality of the product is reflected in its approval by major manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi AG, Ferrari and many more influential brands’ installation into their service workshops across the globe.

The same high quality architectural design concept is offered to the housing sector for private “fitted” garage consumers by Dura’s residential sales division – Dura Garages. The personal design service means that the Dura garage system can be tailored to homeowners and car enthusiasts alike in personalising their garage - transforming an untidy, under-utilized garage into an organised, useful and stunning room with functional storage for everything in there- from tools and toys to sports and gardening equipment, as well as complimenting the car through workshop function, durability and design aesthetics. The Dura garage storage system addresses how the garage is used and maximises on its useful space – engaging with the housing sector slogan of the times: “Don’t move, improve!”

As Red Dot award winners, Dura Ltd is an inspirational example of a British designer and manufacturer in both the ‘automotive’ and ‘housing services’ sectors successfully combating challenging times. Dura’s secret?  Offering a high quality niche market product backed by high levels of customer service with the added-value of exceptional product design and established worldwide quality acclaim.
