BCID Professional Member Sören Schou has been recognized with a Reddot Design award for his Tealight Lantern SWVL 3.0

via Press Release:
For its outstanding design concept Tealight Lantern SWVL 3.0 by Sören Schou has received one of the most coveted
design prizes worldwide: the ‘red dot’. This quality seal for good design is awarded annually in the international ‘red
dot design award’ competition by a jury of experts and only goes to design concepts with outstanding design
concepts. It is a confident prediction of how the future will become.
Unique in concept and execution, the SWVL 3.0 Tealight Lantern excels through cheerful innovation and sparkling
sophistication.

SWVL 3.0 is a revolutionary tealight lantern, combining two distinct mood-setting illumination qualities in one
single lantern. Whether you prefer the direct light from a single flickering flame or the warm ambient luminescence
of a frosted surface, SWVL 3.0 gives you the choice; one half of the glass lens is frosted, while the other is clear. The
tealight is suspended and allowed to pivot inside the glass cylinder. By rotating - or swiveling - the lantern, the
candle shines brightly and un-obstructed through the clear glass, or presents a soft and warm glow through the
frosted half.
