2018 CMF DESIGN AWARD Awards ceremony


1) First of all, congratulations to Bosch for winning the CMF DESIGN AWARD. SUPREME GOLD AWARD in 2018. Bosch Home Appliances is very amazing. I believe your company's design strength is also very strong. Can you tell us about your company's CMF department? For example: Approximately when was it established? Group background? Attention? Main work etc.


The CMF department of Bosch Home Appliances Greater China was established in April 2010. With the development of the industrial design team, it has continued to grow and it has the world's first professional CMF LAB for Bosch home appliances. CMF design work is a relatively comprehensive work across regions and organizations within Bosch Home Appliances. The design team constitutes a parallel of diversification, localization and internationalization. Every year, designers with different functions in various regions of the world will share the trends and resources they have collected. Everyone can communicate whether they can understand the new design trends in other regions, new materials and processes, and new supplier resources. The award-winning Nebula gray ceramic door refrigerator is a case of successful cross-regional cooperation.

BOSCH HOMEAPPLIANCECMF/PRF TEAM


The CMF in Greater China is in a leading position, which is determined by the rapid development of the Chinese market and the changing needs. Bosch Home Appliances attaches great importance to user-centered innovative design, and deeply understands and studies the interaction behavior, functional requirements, household habits and appearance preferences of home appliances of Chinese local consumers, so Bosch Home Appliances attaches great importance to user-centered innovative design. China and European home appliances are very different, the Chinese home appliance market is changing rapidly, and product upgrades are very obvious. As a German company, Bosch has conducted separate user research and CMF trend research on the Chinese market, targeting China's home environment and target user preferences developed China's unique home appliances with color materials and crafts. For example, Black and white home appliances in the European market, in addition to upgrading operations and functions for Chinese consumers in the Chinese market, it has evolved into a variety of colors that better meet the tastes of Chinese users and materials that better meet the needs of Chinese kitchens and bathrooms.

The CMF design of home appliances is different from mobile phones and cars. May not use new materials and crafts that focus on single products like mobile phones. As a durable consumer product, more durability and safety must be considered. There is no more space like a car to use a variety of different materials, as part of the home, needs to be more harmonious and comfortable in the user's home. These characteristics limit the possibility of a part of CMF and also put forward higher requirements for designers. It is necessary to have a clear strategy and plan after comprehensively considering the needs of regional channel platforms, and after implementing the plan, look for suppliers of various possibilities, through a variety of rigorous tests, and accurately convey the brand and design inspiration stories to end users, help the final listing of products. In addition, Bosch Home Appliances has very strict management of CMF standards. From design confirmation to basic performance testing to factory release to final mass production, each small component CMF has its own unique code and expiration date. The CMF team is responsible for the design release and standard management of all categories of CMF in Greater China.


2)How do you pay attention to the CMF DESIGN AWARD? What's your intention of participating in CMF DESIGN AWARD?


There are many friends and colleagues working with CMF in all walks of life. At first, I paid attention to this special CMF DESIGN AWARD in the WeChat circle of friends. I feel that it is very meaningful to enhance the value of CMF work. The CMF DESIGN AWARD has gathered many professional judges in China and top companies and teams in various industries. Participating in the competition is to find a good platform and peer and supply chain upstream and downstream learning exchanges to jointly promote the development of CMF.


In addition, this is also a good opportunity to show the excellent results of CMF design and development to the outside design circle and the company, and enhance the value of CMF in product development. Bosch Home Appliances has always been a low-key lifestyle brand, but our award-winning news has been forwarded tens of thousands of times by colleagues and customers in various regions. The success of the CMF DESIGN AWARD has attracted everyone's high attention to CMF design and subsequent development support, so that everyone can pay attention to CMF when they look at the industry and products or even design. The daily work of CMF as a platform support part of the enterprise may not be noticeable while taking on a huge responsibility. With this honor, we can think that CMF is not only a "firefighter", but also a product value and brand influence powerful factor. After winning the Supreme Gold Award, I hope more consumers will feel that German Bosch home appliances are not only durable and of excellent quality, but also have beautiful colors and artistic materials that meet the preferences of the Chinese market.


3)Could you share with us the CMF design of this award-winning work? What was the design of a team, and what was its design process?


Cross-border use of new materials is not a new topic in the CMF world. The first time to participate in the competition can win the Supreme Gold Award, we concluded that not only we find this inspiration and resources, we also redesigned and redeveloped this material. This concept has been loved by everyone. After four years of failure and frustration, colleagues in various departments have made great efforts to finally achieve mass production and bring users an excellent sensory experience.

In terms of materials, the designer looked for and compared high-quality materials around the world, boldly broke the routine of home appliances for glass and metal panels, and used innovative ceramic materials across borders. This innovative ceramic material is selected from natural materials such as clay, feldspar and colored glaze from Italy. All materials are carefully selected to ensure that their ingredients are evenly distributed and do not contain traces of impurities.

In terms of technology, the superb technology and quality control system of Bosch Home Appliances has made it possible for such a large area of 3.2mm thick ceramics to become refrigerator panels and achieve mass production. From multiple supplier audits to raw material imports to cutting to assembly and passing various experiments, each stage reflects the strict management of Bosch Home Appliances German Seiko and the ultimate pursuit of material quality.


In terms of design, the texture of the surface of the two refrigerators has been continuously explored and recreated by the designer. The line direction has a beautiful rhythm. The texture of each door is unique and pure. With the black and gray color of elegant quality and yet calm atmosphere, it shows the ultimate artistic style. The magical combination of ruggedness and exquisiteness makes the minimalist style of the master version of the refrigerator versatile in various home environments, and it also conveys the brand concept of Bosch appliance art style to lead the unique home quality to nature.

Times are changing, and consumers 'requirements for quality life are becoming higher and higher. As an important role of daily home furnishing, refrigerators should guarantee consumers' high quality life from the inside  to out. Bosch appliances continue to innovate in the refrigerator market, and strive to start from the kitchen with a strong atmosphere of life, starting from the basic ingredients to control, bring a more natural and fresh healthy life for the family, let high quality often accompany.


4)Your message to CMF DESIGN AWARD
