Nice Wins Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 with Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers

Nice proudly announces that its Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers have been awarded the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025, one of the most esteemed global honors in the field of product design.

“This prestigious recognition reaffirms our commitment to innovation that simplifies daily life while seamlessly integrating into everyday spaces,” said Lauro Buoro, Chairman and Founder of Nice. “It reflects the strength of our international identity and the value of collaboration among diverse people, cultures, and expertise—principles that continue to guide our global growth.” 

Selected from thousands of candidates worldwide, the Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers were designed in Italy through close collaboration between Nice’s Product Design team and the Emo design studio and developed by a team spread across three continents. A tangible example of the global expertise of the Nice People and the company’s ongoing commitment to user-centered innovation.

The Red Dot Award celebrates product concepts that raise the standard of excellence in design and functionality. The jury praised the speakers for their minimalist yet highly functional design, the patented toolless installation system, and the adjustable acoustic directionality—features that set a new benchmark for architectural audio.

“This award reflects the values we hold dear: innovation, a culture of design, and user focus,” commented Paul Williams, Managing Director of the Home Management Solutions Business Unit at Nice. “It celebrates not just a product, but the shared vision and passion of our people—the Nice People—who are redefining what it means to live in a smart, comfortable, and beautifully designed home.”
