Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced that the company has been awarded the Good Design Award 2020 by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP) for the following four designs.
Award-winning designs include its bizhub C650i/C550i/C450i, A3 colour MFP series, AccurioPress C14000/C12000, digital colour printing systems, HitomeQ Connect, communication service for care facilities and Lifestyle-related body odour awareness-raising project.
Konica Minolta’s bizhub C650i/C550i/C450i, A3 colour MFP series won the awards for high-end MFPs that meet a variety of workstyles and business needs.
The Good Design Award is a comprehensive design commendation programme implemented by the JDP with a view to highlighting and commending outstanding designs around us in the pursuit of prosperous lives and industrial and social development. This programme has a history spanning approximately 60 years since its implementation in 1957 by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (present-day Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) under the name, Good Design Selection System, which was more widely known as the G Mark System.
The Committee of the JDP commented: “This series of high-end MFPs is characterised by Konica Minolta’s unique “INFO-Palette” design, a vertical white section on the machine body that symbolizes its role as a touchpoint for various office services, which adds to the brand value across the series. With its independent applications, selectable operation screen displays, and customisable user interface, this series can meet a wide range of user needs.”
