Phi-ton receives one of the worlds most distinguished design prizes; the Good Design® Award 2007

For the first time in the history of the “Good Design® Award” The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd., have awarded the Good Design® Award for a bed: Phi-ton .
Good Design® is an international symbol for a company's firm commitment to innovation and superior design embodiment. All materials and products are accessed into the Museum's Permanent Design Collection and exhibited in the United States and abroad.
Phi-ton , an extraordinary design by Fried-Jan Unger, produced and distributed by Phi-ton B.V., has already received several previous awards – such as the “red dot design award” and the ”imm innovation award” and was nominated twice for the German Design Prize by The German Design Council (Rat für Formgebung) founded as an initiative of the German Federal Parliament in 1953. Now, this international recognition has been crowned with an American Award of the highest distinction.

The bed
Phi-ton is a bed in a new dimension: floating without a sub-frame, in a perfect symbiosis of design, luxury and health.

No sub-frame, no free accessible moving parts, no possibility of jamming, no danger of hurting oneself. The advanced patented technology is invisibly incorporated. The Phi-ton bed has a self- correcting steering unit controlling the movements of all segments.
Whether set up in its basic horizontal position or in one of the almost unlimited variety of other positions: Phi-ton always distinguishes itself with its floating design. Using the optional vibra-massage will further enhance this unique experience into what can only be termed the ultimate in comfort and relaxation.

The Phi-ton 3D-mattress, another proprietary Phi-ton development, is like : different from all others. Made from highly functional 3D braided fabric, it enables a combination of all requirements that make for a real comfort mattress: optimum pressure distribution, outstanding air and moisture regulation, excellent hygiene and high durability. And, it is 100% recyclable.
