The Lithuanian company ERGOVENT achieved recognition at the prestigious Red Dot Awards, often referred to as the International Oscars of product design. The event took place in Germany on June 19th, where ERGOVENT Rondo emerged as the winner in the HVAC product design category. The “Rondo” ventilation diffuser, an innovative solution for stylish interiors, outshined over 20,000 competing products from around the globe.
The new trend in interior design
With the rise of higher energy class buildings and the demand for mechanical ventilation systems in residential buildings, ventilation diffusers have become increasingly common. However, conventional ceiling diffusers, while functional, have failed to meet the expectations of both consumers and interior designers due to their stagnant design that remained unchanged for many years.
The prevailing trend of modern minimalism has had a significant impact on various aspects of the market, including lighting, home appliances, and most recently, ventilation components. This design trend emphasizes the concealment of unnecessary details and aims to harmonise these elements with the surrounding surfaces, reducing the visual burden of technical components within the interior. As a result, ventilation components had to undergo a transformation as well in order to align with this trend.
According to ERGOVENT's CEO, Gytis Svilainis, the inspiration for the groundbreaking gypsum diffuser “Rondo” came from interior designers who had expressed the demand for such a product. After several years of development, the company has successfully created a revolutionary product that not only enhances the final interior image but also delivers flawless performance. It operates quietly thanks to significant aerodynamic, it is packaged extremely safely, and is remarkably easy to install. In essence, customers can be reassured that ERGOVENT Rondo is a sustainable and long-lasting choice.
According to Monika Noreikienė, a renowned interior designer from Lithuania, the popularity of these diffusers can be attributed to their aesthetic and seamless integration with the ceiling.
"The main advantage of a frameless diffuser is that it seamlessly blends in with the ceiling. When installed, they are at the same level as recessed luminaires or plastered LED profiles, resulting in a much more aesthetically pleasing ceiling appearance," explains Ms. Noreikienė. She further emphasizes the practicality of this innovative solution, particularly in spaces where smoke detectors and alarms are frequently installed in the ceiling. "A minimalist and subtle diffuser “Rondo” proves to be a great choice that doesn't impose significant financial costs. Moreover, it offers a cleaner feel as it lacks protrusion, volume, and dust accumulation commonly found in regular diffusers," adds Ms. Noreikienė.
Best-selling in Lithuania
G. Svilainis highlights that ERGOVENT's recessed diffusers have garnered significant customer acclaim due to their convenient and swift installation process, exceptional product and service quality, operational safety, and quiet performance. These attributes have propelled ERGOVENT’s frameless diffusers to become the top-selling choice in Lithuania, with availability in the majority of specialized ventilation stores nationwide. The CEO's statement stands firm as recent market research data corroborates that ERGOVENT's frameless diffusers reign supreme as the top-selling choice in Lithuania.
Entered more than 20 foreign markets
International recognition serves as strong evidence of a product's quality and reliability. ERGOVENT Rondo frameless diffuser has not only received the prestigious Red Dot product design award but has also been nominated for other notable honours, including the German Innovation Award '23 and the Design Plus Award at the ISH 2023 international exhibition.
“Over the past two years, we have entered 23 foreign markets, which is a tremendous acknowledgment of our team's hard work. It is truly rewarding to witness how the ideas developed in Lithuania are shaping trends globally. In the near future, we're excited to expand our product range in the ventilation category with new offerings.” Mr. Svilainis shared.
