Lufthansa Technik has won two Red Dot Design Awards for its Omni-Fi aircraft sound system and &nbsp;BBJ 777-9 VIP cabin design, dubbed CelestialStar. The awards are among the world's largest design competitions.
According to Lufthansa Technik, the Omni-Fi speakers bring “a fully invisible sound experience for various installation positions in both VIP and business jet cabins to the market.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, the CelestialStar design “features and furthermore maximizes space, comfort, and incorporates traditional elements of Middle Eastern cultural heritage with a modern twist,” it said.
Omni-Fi is among the winners in the "Best of the Best: Design Concept" while CelestialStar was awarded in the "Product Design" category in this year's design competition. An official award ceremony will be held in Singapore in October.
