The German Design Council awarded the SCHOTT Jade Reading Light as the winner in the “Excellent Product Design - Aviation, Maritime and Railway” category.
It recognizes Jade as a product that plays a “pioneering role within the international design landscape," according to the GDC.
“We feel very honored that our Jade Reading Light is recognized for its Excellent Product Design by the German Design Council,” said Philip Fischer, sales director Aviation/Automotive at SCHOTT. “I would like to congratulate the SCHOTT Aviation Seat Lighting Team as well as our design partner PriestmanGoode on this fantastic achievement.”
Jade is the first aviation light made from glass, bringing haptic and optical aesthetics to aircraft seats.
Designed by PriestmanGoode, the innovation with an integrated ambient light features a sleek glass cover that is as intuitive to use as a smartphone – and as easy and effective to clean.
Modern sensor technology allows passengers to adjust light position and brightness by swiping.
The light can be printed with any decor for unlimited design options. As a specialty glass and lighting expert, SCHOTT brings the advantages of glass to aviation interior lighting with a stunning, yet safe and aviation compliant product which is currently CDR-ready.
The light can be certified for all relevant aviation and OEM requirements.
