Red Dot ranks IDESO amongst the world's most innovative design studios

The published Red Dot design rankings recognise Ideso as one of the world's top design consultancies. With an incredible 11th place in the 'Design Studio' category, Ideso now cements its position as Cape Town's leading design studio and is also the only South African company to make the list for 2012.

Marc Ruwiel, owner of Ideso, says: "To be ranked alongside such prolific design studios such as Philips and Seymour Powell is an honour and affirms that we are doing great work here in Africa. This is an important milestone for product design in South Africa and bodes well for our work with Cape Town as World Design Capital 2014."

Ideso won the prestigious 'Red Dot: Best of the Best' design concept award last year for their PowerPac concept. The Cape Town based consultancy is one of only a handful of South African design firms to have received a red dot award for exceptional design.
