Vermicular Soup Pot and Vermicular Yukihira Double Win Red Dot DESIGN AWARD 2026, the World's Foremost Design Award!

Aichi Dobby Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that its "Vermicular Soup Pot" and "Vermicular Yukihira" have jointly received the "Red Dot DESIGN AWARD 2026" (hereinafter referred to as the Red Dot Design Award 2026), one of the world's largest and most prestigious design awards, held in Germany.

The "Vermicular Soup Pot" is a one-handed pot that retains Vermicular's signature high airtightness while featuring a kettle-like shape with a spout. It serves 7 functions in one: "waterless cooking," "simmering," "boiling," "heating," "cooking rice," "searing," and "deep-frying," catering to various daily cooking needs. Furthermore, its deep shape allows for the use of a hand blender directly in the pot after waterless cooking, a significant advantage. This product follows its win at the "iF DESIGN AWARD 2026," achieving a double crown at globally authoritative design awards.

The "Vermicular Yukihira" is a product that achieves ideal heat control by fusing the unique "Instant Evaporation Enamel" technology, which instantly evaporates excess moisture from ingredients to condense their flavor, with the traditional "hammered pattern." Additionally, by using the cast enamel "Drop Lid" (a drop-in lid), it enables a unique cooking style that simultaneously sears and steams ingredients, utilizing the moisture released from them. This product follows its wins at the "2025 Good Design Award" and the "iF DESIGN AWARD 2026," and with this Red Dot Design Award 2026 win, it has achieved a triple crown among major domestic and international design awards.

The Red Dot Award is an international design award organized by the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia in Essen, Germany, and has been held since 1955. In 2026, numerous entries from around the world competed in the fields of Product Design, Brand & Communication Design, and Design Concept. The "Red Dot" was awarded for outstanding design following rigorous evaluation by internationally active experts.

Encouraged by this "Red Dot Design Award 2026" win, Aichi Dobby Co., Ltd. will continue to challenge itself in creating innovative products as a brand leading the global food scene.
