08/27/2025 - Dauphin Workheart receives ICONIC Award
Dauphin Workheart is a winner!
New work reimagined: The Dauphin Workheart Space in Offenbach has been declared the “winner” in the category INTERIOR – workplace for outstanding design quality at the prestigious ICONIC AWARDS 2025. The high-calibre international jury has thus recognised the innovative new work concept Dauphin Workheart, which makes worlds of work flexible and future-proof.
For over ten years, the German Design Council has been presenting the ICONIC AWARDS to recognise pioneering projects and sustainable solutions from the worlds of architecture, product and interior design. With five main categories and 42 subcategories, they are regarded as one of the biggest stages for showcasing innovative design. With new categories like “Office and Workplace”, the ICONIC AWARDS in 2025 also focus on solutions for the future world of work.
“We’re delighted to be crowned the “winner” in this new area of focus. It shows that our Dauphin Workheart concept not only meets the requirements of contemporary working models, but also appeals to the emotions,” emphasises Carolin Frank, market research manager at the Dauphin HumanDesign Group. “As a living showroom, the Dauphin Workheart Space offers us the ideal stage to bring this vision to life and inspire partners and customers from Germany and abroad.”
Dauphin Workheart – an office with a heart
At the heart of the innovative new work concept, which takes into account the needs of companies and employees alike, is the conviction that the office will continue to be the physical focal point of hybrid worlds of work. Instead of dividing up the office space in the traditional way based on activities, Dauphin Workheart divides it into the ME, TEAM and FAMILY zones – from “super private” to “super social”. This means that the design of the space is based consistently on the desired level of social interaction. With this award-winning concept, the Dauphin HumanDesign Group wants to help companies create working environments that combine productivity and efficiency (work) with an emotional appeal, authenticity and passion (heart). The aim is to design spaces that are not just functional but also motivating and create their own identity – very much embracing a modern new work culture.
Dauphin Workheart Space
The redesigned showroom of the Dauphin HumanDesign Group in Frankfurt/Offenbach has been configured entirely based on the Dauphin Workheart new work concept. Over an area of more than 450 m², visitors can experience an impressive world covering all aspects of future-oriented working. With exemplary settings, extraordinary spatial scenarios and stylish details, the Dauphin Workheart Space is both an inspiring space for ideas and a “living exhibition” that is actively used by Dauphin employees. Exclusive cooperation partners from the fields of lighting, technology and equipment – including SATTLER, Création Baumann, deskbird, OBJECT CARPET and LifeBoXX – all help to ensure that the Dauphin Workheart Space combines design, technology and sophistication in a coherent overall concept.
