2009 Red Dot Design Award Recognizes Lutron Design Excellence

Coopersburg, Pa. (July 20, 2009) –  Lutron’s Vierti dimmer has won a Red Dot Design Award, a prestigious international competition that honors high quality and innovative design.
 
Vierti is a wall-mounted dimmer with a strikingly distinctive look and operation.  A single vertical line of touch-sensitive LEDs in the center of the wallplate allows the user to set the perfect light with just a single touch or slide of the finger. With three LED colors and over 21 wallplate colors and finishes, Vierti™ complements both residential and commercial applications (

In winning the category, Lutron joins other product design innovators like Apple, Sony, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin.
