Self-Sustaining Innovation and a striking aesthetic

The Bruder EXP-8 Good Design Award Gold Winner Accolade in the Product Design category drew the following comments from the Good Design Awards Jury:

“If Darth Vader went camping on Tatooine, the Bruder EXP-8 would be his home away from the Death Star. This caravan offers levels of luxury and off-road ability its competitors can only dream of. We appreciate the design team’s deep understanding of the harshness of the Australian outback, with each self-sustainable innovation not at all compromising a striking aesthetic.

“The desire to redefine one’s relationship with nature is commendable, and we believe the Bruder EXP-8 will do just that. Well done.”

“The Highest Honour”

A 65 Year Tradition

The Australian Good Design Awards is the country’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958. The 2023 Awards celebrated 65 Years of Good Design since the founding organisation behind the awards – the Industrial Design Council of Australia (IDCA) was first established.

“It is incredible to see how design has changed over the past 65 years. While we celebrate this important milestone for Australian design, we also pay our respect to the oldest living designers on this planet who have been designing and creating for more than 65,000 years. We have such a deeply rich and diverse design culture in Australia to draw and learn from as we shape the next 65 years of design,” said Dr. Gien.
