POLAB honoured at German Design Award 2024

The award is documented in the official German Design Award winner gallery and the certificate below. The design credits name DAJAVA Design and Anders Grau Sundström. German Design Award.

The VALDUR street luminaire from POLAB introduces a new use of composite materials in street lighting. The housing is compression-moulded from SMC thermoset composite. The non-metallic housing does not undergo metallic or electrochemical corrosion and therefore requires no paint system as protection against such corrosion. Differences in maintenance, service life and environmental impact between complete luminaires require comparable product-specific lifecycle data.

VALDUR combines an SMC composite housing with LED modules and project-specific controls. It serves streets, shared-use paths, industrial sites and exposed environments.

For POLAB, the award recognises the product design. It does not replace test results, technical specifications or evidence of lifetime and environmental performance. These require separate product documentation.
