Adidas Design Department
Following the Pininfarina Design Team for the red dot design award for the design team of the year is the Adidas design department under Michael Michalsky in 2005.
Today, approximately 200 designers from ten nations are working under the guidance of “Global Creative Director” Michael Michalsky – in 1992, it was just 21 designers worldwide. There are now three teams; one at the company’s headquarters in Herzogenaurach, another one in Portland for the American market, and a third one in Tokyo for Japan and Asia.
On 4 July 2005, Michael Michalsky will travel to Essen to receive on behalf of the whole design team the “Radius” challenge trophy in recognition of the “red dot: design team of the year” award. The “Radius” will be handed over by the previous year’s winner, the Pininfarina design team. The Aalto-Theater opera house in Essen is the opulent setting for the award ceremony gala, with more than 1,200 guests expected from the fields of design, business, media, politics and culture.
Michael Michalsky, 36, is Global Creative Director of the adidas-Salomon AG in Herzogenaurach, heading a team of 155 colleages. He studied design management at the London College of Fashion.
