1. What is your overall evaluation of this year’s finalists?
对于本届获奖作品的总体评价?
Dick Spierenburg: This year's selection consists of refined products and materials focussing on rising quality, better processing, improving comfort and additional use. All are effective evolutions deserving prominent roles in future interior products and architecture.
今年获奖作品中的精炼产品和材料都着重于提升质量，改善加工，提高舒适度和使用附加值。这些进步会在未来的室内产品和建筑中发挥重要作用。
Sascha Peters: Looking at this year's finalists, we see a clear shift towards sustainability and digitalisation. The use of natural materials on the one hand and the exploitation of big data and artificial intelligence on the other are the two poles of a field of tension in which companies in the furniture and interior industry are currently navigating with their new developments.
纵观今年的入选产品，我们看到了家具制造业向可持续和数字化的显著转变。一方面是天然材料的应用，另一方面是对大数据和人工智能的利用，这将是引导家具和室内装饰企业新发展的两个主要方向。
2. In terms of design, what outstanding performance of the nominated products has left an impression on you?
从设计方面看，今年的提名产品有哪些突出表现给你留下深刻印象？
Dick Spierenburg: A clear aspect of the nominated products is that the design is not loud but playing a modest part. Many designs are invisible or only partly present. This however does not make them less interesting and meaningful.
今年的提名产品都有一个明显特点：设计并不张扬，但发挥了适度的作用。许多设计是隐形的或只是部分呈现。然而，设计的趣味性和意义却不减。
In terms of materials, what outstanding performance of the nominated products has left an impression on you?
从材料方面看，今年的提名产品有哪些突出表现给你留下深刻印象？
Sascha Peters: The objective of many companies in the use of materials is clear. On the one hand, it is about fundamentally reducing the use of resources and increasing effectiveness. Furthermore, it is noticeable that many manufacturers refrain from using synthetic materials and substances that are even remotely harmful to health. I was impressed by the high number of developments in which adhesives were dispensed with and reusable, flexible connections such as rails or clamps were used.
今年许多公司在使用材料方面有明确的目标。一方面，他们从根本上减少资源的使用，提升效益。另外值得注意的是，许多制造商避免使用合成材料和甚至对健康有害的物质。大量的开发项目省去了粘合剂，选择了可重复使用的柔性连接，如轨道或夹子，这给我留下深刻印象。
3. What trends in the furniture accessories industry do you think are indicated by the winning products this year?
你认为今年的获奖产品体现了家具辅料行业的哪些发展趋势？
Dick Spierenburg: We are moreover coming to a post trend society that is asking for meaningful innovations, products and materials that are adding value. I am happy to see all winning products have reached these goals.
我们正在进入一个后趋势社会，需要能够增加价值的有意义的创新产品和材料。我很高兴看到所有获奖产品都达到了这些目标。
Sascha Peters: In the area of furniture components, the focus this year was particularly on smart systems that can be used in a simple way and, if possible, do not appear visibly in the later product. Outstanding examples are furniture that clicks together without tools, glue or screws.
在家具部件领域，今年尤其注重操作简单的智能系统，并且尽量做到“隐藏式设计”。突出案例是不用工具、胶水或螺丝就能卡住的家具。
4. In your opinion, what factors need to be taken into account to develop sustainable products?
在您看来，开发可持续产品需要考虑哪些因素？
Dick Spierenburg: Not only the product but especially the way to produce it and to dispose of it later must be carefully planned. Before and after using, product and materials must match the rules of conscious planning with limited resources and future waste management.
我认为，开发可持续产品时不仅要考虑产品本身，尤其还要仔细考虑产品的生产方式和后期的处理方式。产品和材料使用前后都必须符合有限资源和未来废弃物处理的有意识规划。
Sascha Peters: As a company, you should think about the products from behind, i.e. starting from the question of what happens to them after the end of their service life. Can products be repaired or can components and structures be reused? How do the resources and materials used get back into the cycle? Circularity is becoming a decisive competitive factor.
我认为，公司应该从产品后期来考虑，即产品使用寿命结束后会发生什么的问题。产品是否可以被修复，或者部件和结构是否可以被重新使用？使用的资源和材料如何回到循环利用中去？循环性正在成为一个决定性的竞争因素。
5. From your professional point of view, what should be the focus of product development for furniture accessories in the future?
未来，家具辅料产品研发的核心或重点应该是什么?
Dick Spierenburg: As mentioned, in my view new products and materials must serve the purpose to improve peoples living or work or situation and at least make the use of it more enjoyable for a longer time.
在我看来，新产品和新材料必须以提升人们的生活品质、工作或环境为研发核心，并且至少要让人们在更长时间内有更愉快的使用感。
Sascha Peters: In the future, the focus of product development for furniture accessories in the interior industry will be on establishing the circular economy in all phases of the value chain. Climate-neutral economic models are the essential prerequisite for companies' global market access.
未来，室内行业家具配件产品开发的聚力点将是在全价值链建立循环经济模式。“气候中和”经济模式是企业进入全球市场的基本前提。
