The German Design Council, renowned for influencing Germany's design landscape since 1953, presented dormakaba with the prestigious ICONIC AWARD at the 2025 ceremony. The accolade recognized the Quantum Pixel+ electronic hotel lock for its innovative design and technological advancements.
Technological Advancements Enhance Guest Experience
The Quantum Pixel+ is a cutting-edge digital product that enhances guest convenience through modern technologies like NFC, RFID, Bluetooth® Low Energy, and digital wallets. These features allow for seamless, contactless room access via specialized ID cards or smartphones. Its sleek design allows the lock to integrate smoothly into both new and existing doors, with only the flat round reader and handle visible to users.
