The Institut Français du Design (IFD) picks products and services that put concern for the user and their environment first. With the help of a jury of 50 experts from a wide range of fields with backgrounds in business, the creative professions and human sciences, the IFD awards the Janus to products which meet these requirements.
"When we showcased MicroTiles at the American Institute of Architects Convention in Miami on 10 June, the system greatly impressed the audience of architecture and design professionals. We're really proud of the success it's been enjoying since its launch in February 2010; and now this Janus de l'Industrie confirms our belief that in MicroTiles we have the solution of the future, innovative both in its dynamic display and its design", said Pascal Gervais, Christie's regional manager for France.
"The jury loved this design, where each cube can be stacked, dismantled and locked in place with a time saving that conventional image walls can't rival. Another advantage we particularly liked is how easy the image is to read and how faithfully the logos, diagrams and graphs are reproduced", added the chairman of the jury for the Janus de l'Industrie, Claude de Méneval.
