Next-generation hotel door lock selected as winning solution by an international jury of leading product design experts analysing nominations from more than 60 countries.
ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, a leading provider of advanced security technology for the hospitality industry, is honoured to announce details of its latest award achievement with the naming of VingCard Novel as this year's Product Design winner at the Red Dot Design Awards. Internationally recognised as one of the most sought-after labels for high-quality product design, around 20,000 entries took part in the 2023 Red Dot Design Awards, with VingCard Novel ultimately winning the competition jury thanks to its stylish appearance, robust range of advanced functionalities and future-proof technology design.
With a total of 43 judges giving their verdict on this year's entrants, VingCard Novel door locks along with competing solutions were specifically analysed for their socio-cultural impact, technical focus and design expertise. VingCard Novel is a next-generation door lock solution designed to meet the hotel security needs of today and tomorrow. It received high praise for its ability to fit seamlessly into the style of any property and for its unique modular component design approach.
Although all the hardware is encapsulated in a streamlined yet customisable door handle, VingCard Novel's breakthrough advantage lies in its ability to keep pace with new technological developments and shifts in industry trends. This includes the ability to stay up-to-date with the latest security protocols while enabling integrations with third-party solutions, including with technologies yet to be made available to industrial companies. Additional solution features that led to the latest award won by VingCard Novel include:
VingCard Novel is a fantastic product and a real confirmation that we focus on the right aspects of product design. Since it was first presented, it has been loved by our customers, especially architects and interior designers.

It is super smart, convenient, user-friendly and has a beautiful aesthetic that is made to last. From both a quality and sustainable perspective, VingCard Novel's design elevates hotel stay experiences by making all doors look and feel complete.
