Thermomix® TM7 Recognised in Australia’s International Good Design Awards for Excellence in Design and Innovation.

Sydney, Monday 20 October 2025 – The Australian Good Design Awards, one of the world’s longest-running international design award programs, has announced this year’s Australian Good Design Award Gold Winners as part of the Official Good Design Awards Week – Rewarding, Defining, and Celebrating Good Design.

 

This year’s theme, “Design for Better” underscores the vital role design plays in shaping a more balanced, inclusive, and sustainable world. From reimagining products and services to reshaping cities and systems, the Awards showcase how design has the power to drive positive change for people, planet, and prosperity.

 

Among the Winners was Thermomix® TM7, recognised with a prestigious Australian Good Design Award Gold Winner accolade in the Product Design category.

Australian Good Design Award Gold Winners represent the top projects in each sub-category – these projects have gone beyond the criteria for good design, and demonstrate outstanding design quality, innovation and positive impact in their category.

Thermomix® Australia & New Zealand General Manager Australia & New Zealand Phillipp Grundler said, “We’re incredibly proud that the Thermomix® TM7 has been recognised with a prestigious Australian Good Design Award. This accolade is a testament to our commitment to creating products that not only simplify cooking but also bring beauty and inspiration into the heart of the home. The TM7’s design reflects Thermomix’s ongoing pursuit of innovation - seamlessly blending form, function and emotion to enhance how people cook, connect and create together."

Project Title: Thermomix® TM7
Designed in: Germany
Designed by: Vorwerk Group
Commissioned by: Vorwerk Group
 
Jury Comments:
“Thermomix® is more than just a kitchen appliance, it is an integrated ecosystem that seamlessly combines state-of-the-art hardware with a digital recipe platform, Cookidoo®. A bold product format and design full of intriguing features and technology. A well-considered and nicely executed design. The “trophy on a pedestal” analogy is a thoughtful touch, and the material choices support the concept well. It’s also encouraging to see strong alignment between the physical and digital elements of the product. Good example of design maturity and system thinking across physical, digital, and emotional layers. Evolves a beloved product with bold yet respectful refinement, both aesthetically and functionally. Integrates hardware, software, and community in a seamless and empowering cooking platform. A standout example of design excellence. Well done.”

 
 Celebrating Good Design, Innovation and Impact
 
The 2025 Australian Good Design Awards Ceremony took place on Friday 17 October, at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, where more than 1,000 distinguished guests from design, architecture, engineering, and business sectors came together to celebrate the transformational power of good design.
 
At the Ceremony, Winners received their official Good Design Tick Trophy. Gold Winners also became contenders for the Good Design Award Best in Class accolade. The Best in Class Winners, along with recipients of the Special Accolades, the Good Design Award for Sustainability, and the Australian Good Design Award of the Year – the nation’s highest design honour, were also announced exclusively at the Awards Ceremony.
 
Record-Breaking Year for Design Excellence
 
Rachel Wye, Managing Director of Good Design Australia, reflects on the calibre of this year’s entries: “The standard of Award Winners in this year’s Australian Good Design Awards was the highest we’ve seen, with game-changing projects that push the envelope of good design, design innovation and design impact. These Awards clearly demonstrate the transformational power of design to create a better and more sustainable future.”
 
She added: “The projects awarded this year show how thoughtful design can drive meaningful change – from the way we live and work to how we care for our planet. The Australian Good Design Awards are proud to recognise these world-class examples of design excellence, which not only enhance human experience, but also make a profound contribution to creating a more balanced and sustainable world.”
