“Red Dot: Best of the Best” for BLANCO
The BLANCO UNIT LUNEOO // OOVALON receives a special award
Oberderdingen, June 9, 2026 – BLANCO’s highly acclaimed LUNEOO // OOVALON UNIT has received yet another prestigious design award. After the combination of the strikingly designed LUNEOO faucet with the oval OOVALON sink made from the patented material Velgranit had already been honored with the German Design Award 2026 in Gold and the iF Design Award 2026, this BLANCO UNIT has now been awarded the “Red Dot: Best of the Best.”
With the “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award, the international Red Dot jury, in its own words, honors “the best products in a category” and makes it clear that the prize stands for “pioneering design and outstanding product quality.”
Systematically upgrading the kitchen water place
“We want to enhance the kitchen water place with our products and systems. People should enjoy the quality, design, and functionality of our products and noticeably improve their daily life in the kitchen. The fact that we have received the highest possible award at a prestigious design competition for the second time with the LUNEOO // OOVALON UNIT confirms that we have made a significant contribution in this regard,” says Marcel Moritz, Global Head of Design & Innovation at BLANCO.
The company is a pioneer in the systematic design of the kitchen water place. The BLANCO UNIT combines the sink, faucet, and water treatment system, as well as the organization system for the base cabinet, into a modular system that seamlessly blends form and function.
An extraordinary BLANCO UNIT
LUNEOO and OOVALON form an extraordinary BLANCO UNIT that completely redefines the kitchen water place in terms of design. With its clearly contoured, sculptural, and at the same time finely proportioned silhouette, the LUNEOO faucet makes a striking statement at the kitchen water place. Despite its iconic presence, it blends harmoniously into open-concept living and kitchen spaces, combining design elegance with high functional precision. All models feature a smart, freely positionable control knob and an elegant magnetic holder for the spray arm. In select markets, LUNEOO is also available as a 6-in-1 water system.
With its softly flowing, clearly defined oval shape, the OOVALON sink makes an extraordinary design statement at the kitchen water place. The design combines elegant tranquility with a distinctive spatial presence and, like the faucet, is particularly striking in open-concept kitchens. Crafted from patented Velgranit, the sink also impresses with its refined texture, high-quality materials, and an aesthetic that effortlessly blends design sophistication with everyday practicality.
