BenQ has announced that 18 products designed by its two teams, BenQ Lifestyle Design Center and Qisda Creative Design Center, were recognised with the prestigious iF Design Awards 2010.

The performance also underscores the group’s fast-emerging design strength, which has enabled the group to become a design leader in the Chinese communities worldwide and gain a cutting edge in the global market.

The winning designs have won the favour of the jury, comprised of top international designers, thanks to their combination of the elements of environmental friendliness and technological aesthetics, said a statement.
