Franz Viegener is pleased to announce that the Seven faucet has won the Product Innovation Award 2020, which is presented by Construction Business Media, publisher of Architectural Products and Architectural SSL magazines. The Seven collection was a stand-out as it was designed with the thinnest possible spout at only 7mm thick. One of the judges chose the Seven faucet because “style and the ability to conserve water is a winning combination.”

Architectural Products editor Jim Crockett introduced the 2020 PIA award winners, published in the November/December issue, by writing “2020 has been a difficult year, and it’s hard to find the silver lining amid the clouds. That being said, one thing that gives me hope rolling into 2021 is what I’ve seen on the pages before you—those items presented here in our 10th Product Innovation Awards.”

Products were chosen based on sustainability, performance, quality, affordability and alignment with evolving market trends. With judging and evaluation of products and systems from a distinguished panel of 22 designers and product specialists skilled in product evaluation, the PIA program awards manufacturers based on attributes, qualities, functionality and/or performance beyond industry standards.

“We are honored to receive this award and appreciate the recognition for our craftsmanship, particularly with the Seven collection which required overcoming the challenge of creating a faucet spout that was as thin as possible while at the same time performing to our strict standards,” said Josef Moskovic, chief designer, Franz Viegener.

Building on the success of past programs, the 10th edition of the awards proves manufacturers are committed to, and are working arduously toward, delivering more sustainable products, as well as products that deliver better performance, life and affordability, that keep pace with ever-shifting market requirements.
