Scanstrut, a global leader in outdoor technology, announced that its Ventura Series has been awarded a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026, one of the most prestigious and internationally recognized marks of design excellence.

The Ventura Series was recognized by the Red Dot Jury for its outstanding design quality, combining robust engineering, intuitive functionality and a refined, cohesive aesthetic tailored for modern recreational vehicles and overland applications, Scanstrut said in a recent release.
The Red Dot Award: Product Design is regarded as one of the world’s leading design competitions, with a history dating back to 1955.

This latest recognition adds to an exceptional year for Scanstrut. The Ventura Series has also been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026, further reinforcing its position as a benchmark product in global design.
In addition, the range recently secured 1st Place in the Equipment Design category at the European Innovation Awards 2026, presented at CMT Stuttgart, highlighting its impact within the RV and leisure vehicle industry.
“Winning the Red Dot Award is a significant achievement for our team and a powerful validation of our commitment to design-led innovation,” said George Bowles, head of design at Scanstrut. “The Ventura Series represents a new chapter for Scanstrut as we expand into the RV and overland sector, and to receive this level of global recognition is incredibly rewarding.”
