Worms, 20th of August 2010  "Which colours and patterns are among your favourites?" is what the RENOLIT EXTERIOR business unit asked its booth visitors on this year's fensterbau/frontale trade fair in the scope of a lottery. The three winners now received their prizes.

The third place was won by Ralf Marxen from Harsewinkel, Germany. The employee of Mallok company is now the happy owner of a Porsche Shakepen and may in future bring his writing utensils to life with a short jerk. Ralf Marxen also proved to be particularly accurate with his indications – both his first and second favourites (the Heavy Metal and AnTEAK patterns) corresponded to the overall hit list of all stall visitors.

Jens Harzer, working at the Saxony plant Groitzsch, Germany of window manufacturer F. Jäger, received a "Falter" design folding stool. When not in use, the stool can be hung on the wall to save space. With its innovative composite material, it can be folded without requiring any additional fittings.

Colours gain importance

The winner's price, a particularly ergonomic Lotus series armchair, is just what any designer would love. Its winner is Frank Verlinden, member of product management for the window area of Deceuninck group in Belgium. His favourites RusTEAK, AnTEAK and Pearl Cherry were therefore also selected under marketing aspects, even though he personally prefers brighter colours. AnTEAK has already been part of the deuctone range since early 2010. The other two series will be integrated into the offer in the scope of programme maintenance. Verlinden considers Pearl Cherry to be applicable in general, whereas AnTEAK and RusTEAK will most probably be used mainly in the façade and covering area.

Frank Verlinden considers the area of colour design decisive development potential. "Technical quality features such as thermal performance, long term colour stability as well as quality of the designs will play an increasingly important role in the decisions of our clients," says the experienced product manager about the development on the market. Therefore, he also believes that consulting instruments like the RENOLIT Colour Road are becoming more and more important.

Winner of the Lotus armchair: Frank Verlinden, member of product management for the window area of Deceuninck group.
