The Janus award, created as a badge of quality by the French government in 1953, is sponsored by the French Ministries for Industry and Foreign Trade. Internationally recognized by both industry and commerce, the award is an asset to marketing and sales.
A jury appointed by the French Institute of Design bestows the prize in recognition of fundamental design excellence that contributes to the quality of life. In order to gain the award the products must offer aesthetical and economical value to the end-user, show consideration for ethics and the environment and also improvements in the industrial process (factors such as standardization, assembly and material choice) are evaluated by the jury.

According to Electrolux Professional's Industrial Design Manager Michele Cadamuro, industrial design is not about trend or fashion, but needs to balance different goals in order to ensure the satisfaction of both the needs and desires of the customer and the capabilities and principles of manufacturing.
"In practice this means that in the form of a single product, the designer must deliver ergonomic solutions in equipment that is intelligible, effective and cleanable, while appealing to our aesthetic and emotional senses," says Cadamuro, adding that this must moreover be achieved applying the right ethics, know-how and technology.
