The Braun family are both shocked and saddened to hear the news about the passing of our friend and partner in design, Virgil Abloh. Virgil shared our belief that good design should be open to all. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those he supported and inspired around the world. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and everyone who called him a friend.
For the first time in the history of the BraunPrize, we have introduced an online public vote element for the competition; the public vote accolade will engage the public in the awards program and its results by awarding one of the 10 winning concepts as ‘The People’s Choice’.
VOTING IS EASY!
All you need to do is ‘like’ the picture of your favorite 2021 BraunPrize winning concept & comment the name of your favorite project under this post.
All public vote entries will be automatically entered into the 2021 BraunPrize ‘Vote to Win’ competition and will be in with a chance of winning one of ten AW10 Braun watches.
The 2021 BraunPrize Public Vote will go live on Friday 19 November 2021 and end on Thursday 9 December 2021.

RUEI-01
Robotically Recyclable Shoe
About the project.
A robotically recyclable shoe that utilises new and contemporary tools for recycling. It is designed to be multi-material and recyclable with complete accuracy by the use of robotics. All the object information is digitally embedded into it by design, including robotic g.code instructions and exact material information, even down to colour codes and factory sources. This allows robots to ‘unmanufacture’ the multi-material shoe, disassembling and separating materials with complete accuracy and providing all the necessary material information to be able to create recycled material of true accuracy.
RUEI-01 has been chosen as one of the 10 equal BraunPrize 2021 winning projects and was awarded $10,000 USD.

PAPILIO
A wind powered street light to tackle light pollution
About the project.
A wind powered streetlight to tackle light pollution. The lamp generates electricity using a wind turbine reducing the ecological footprint of street lighting while at the same time minimizing light pollution. With Papilio, the process of generating energy becomes an aesthetic play, enriching the public space — both during the day and at night.
PAPILIO has been chosen as one of the 10 equal BraunPrize 2021 winning projects and was awarded $10,000 USD.

ORTO
Mobile orientation aid for blind people
About the project.
A mobile aid to help orientation for people with sight loss. ORTO uses a continuous wave radar to scan the environment and then transmits it to the user via a vibration. As a handle for the cane, ORTO detects things at head height. In addition, the handle can be removed from the cane and thus used as a mobile aid for indoor orientation. ORTO aims to help users gain freedom of movement and experience environments that were previously hidden from them.
ORTO has been chosen as one of the 10 equal BraunPrize 2021 winning projects and was awarded $10,000 USD.
