Bangalore, August 24, 2016: TTK Prestige, India’s largest kitchen appliance brand, has won the “Silver” award for its ‘Hobtop’ at the prestigious ‘International Design Excellence Award’ (IDEA) in the USA.

TTK Prestige’s ‘Hobtop’, which beat 1,700 projects submitted from 30 countries across the world, will be added as a permanent exhibit at The Henry Ford Museum in Michigan, USA.

Specially commissioned by TTK Prestige, the ‘Hobtop’ has been designed by Dyutiman Moulik of INCUE, a Bangalore based design practice. The product, built with superior burners from SABAF , Italy was designed and developed specifically for Indian cooking habits.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Dinesh Garg, Senior Vice President – Appliances at TTK Prestige Limited said, “We are thrilled to receive this award. It is a great honor to be recognized globally for design, aesthetics and performance from amongst some of the best names in the world.”
