French spa and hospitality textile specialist RKF Luxury Linen has been awarded a prestigious silver award at this year’s European Product Design Awards.

RKF received the “other products” award for its Timeless by RKF line of eco-friendly fabric.

Christophe Dijoux, RKF’s creative director, said winning the award – presented at the European Parliament – will help the company get its product noticed.

“This award is a testimony of RKF creativity and forward-thinking attitude,” Dijoux said. “We are proud that our eco-friendly fabrics are being recognised by a wider audience.”

RKF provides custom-made lines for each brand it serves and its products include massage table covers, bath sheets and towels, oshiboris, gloves, bath mats, bathrobes and relaxing eye masks.

Its spa clients include Bulgari in London, Guerlain in Moscow, Spa My Blend by Clarins in the Maldives and Liv Nordic in Dubai.

The European Product Design Award was set up to recognise the efforts of product designers who aim to improve daily lives with practical, well-thought-out creations.

This year, more than 500 entries from 43 countries were received for the 21 different categories.

Winners included Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Associates, who were awarded the Design of the Year for their Chidori line of furniture.
