Trumpet "la rossa" receives Saxon State Prize for Design 2023

We received the Saxon State Prize for Design for our innovation, "la rossa" - the first lead- and nickel-free trumpet.

The Saxon State Prize for Design has been awarded by the Saxon State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport since 1992. At the 2023 award ceremony, we received the award from our Saxon State Minister Martin Duhlig.

The Design Award recognizes outstanding design achievements from Saxony with the aim of strengthening the Saxon design industry and making it visible as an important economic factor.
