Joysticks from Rototilt awarded good design award for the third time

It has just been announced that Rototilt, the Swedish manufacturer of rotary tilters, has won a German Design Award for its recently launched joysticks, the RC Joysticks. This is not the first design award Rototilt has had the pleasure of receiving in the past year.

The German Design Awards are an international standard for innovative design and global competitiveness. Winners are selected by a top international jury that focuses on identifying design trends in multiple sectors. It is now clear that Rototilt is one of those winners. In 2022, the Vindeln, Sweden-based turntable company launched a new product concept called Rototilt Control. The new product, RC Joysticks, is part of this and the company is now receiving an award for this, for the third time. 

"It is with great pleasure that we receive this prestigious award for RC Joysticks," says Caroline Jonsson, Product Manager at Rototilt. "RC joysticks are designed to operate a rotary tilt with great precision and good ergonomics. This award is a testament to our commitment to innovative design and improving the daily lives of our end users. Once again we have proven that we design with users in mind, this encourages us to continue to do so." 

Today, good design is about more than appearance and function. It is about providing answers to the demands and needs of the market and taking into account the influence of the product or service on society. This si the way the German Design Awards describe how they see and judge design. A view that Rototilt seems to share, according to Jonsson.

"We want to solve problems in users' daily lives in unexpected and innovative ways. An important part of this is to involve them in the design process and find new methods that cater to our users and customers," says Jonsson. "In the case of the RC Joysticks, we worked on several fronts, but among the most important are the field tests with real operators. With their help, we have been able to develop a product that many people seem to like."

Rototilt wins with RC Joysticks in the Excellent Product Design - Automotive parts and accessories category. 

Previous design awards for RC Joysticks include an IF Design Awards 2023 and the Red Dot Award 2023.
