Red Dot Design Award 2022

We are really excited to announce that Aretai has been awarded the “Red Dot Design Award 2022” for the Contra loudspeaker series designed by Jānis Irbe and Edgars Zvirgzdiņš.

Aretai Contra Collection

Combining features rarely found in one product, the Contra Collection is the result of our quest for the perfect formula for timeless design and sound, manufactured with precision technology and meticulous craftsmanship. The Contra Collection embodies our Northern Sound concept – the sensual experience of the crisp and vital freshness of a winter morning surrounded by the generous and robust vastness of Mother Nature.

Red Dot Design Award

With roughly 20,000 submissions, the Red Dot Award is one of the biggest design competitions in the world. 1955 marked the first year that a jury came together to evaluate the best designs of that era. In the 1990s, Red Dot’s CEO Prof. Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award. Ever since, the prestigious distinction “Red Dot” has been a seal of outstanding design that is highly regarded internationally.
