The URBN HOOP® has won the Design Prize Bandenburg 2025
January 2026
The URBN HOOP® was awarded as a Winner at the Design Prize Brandenburg 2025 (Designpreis Brandenburg 2025) in the category Product Design / Industrial Design.
WHY THIS IS SPECIAL - The competition evaluates outstanding design across all industries — there is no dedicated category for sports equipment. URBN HOOP® therefore competed against projects from furniture, industrial, lifestyle and technology design. Out of around 150 submissions, the eleven-member jury selected 31 projects. Being nominated already counts as an award and recognises exceptional design quality. Only 12 projects were awarded as winners and received prize money — including URBN HOOP®. This distinction confirms that URBN HOOP® officially ranks among the best design projects in Brandenburg in 2025 — across all industries. A strong recognition of our design quality, technical innovation, and our position at the intersection of sport, culture and contemporary product design.
