Cape Town, South Africa, April 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Orgafile, founded by South Africa's top filing specialist Arnold van Wijk, has received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for their innovative “Eco, grow-as-you-go” Modular Filing System. The Red Dot Award is the largest and most renowned design competition in the world, presented annually by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany. The Orgafile filing system has won international acclaim having received best in class awards for product design in North America, Africa and now Europe. Among the awards is the highly coveted SABS president's choice award in 2008.
The Orgafile filing cabinet is the first in the industry to provide typical fixed-unit cabinet features including: an anti tilt mechanism, a general cabinet lock and a single module safety catch in a contemporary post consumer extruded wooden filing module. This unique modular filing system brings a breath of clean air with its style, flexibility and modularity to an established market, saving businesses and home offices money and space.
The jury of internationally renowned design experts awarded the Orgafile with the Red Dot quality seal for design excellence. This recognition is received by a select chosen few from over 10,000 entries coming from 60 countries.
The father and son team of Adrian and Arnold van Wijk sought to develop a filing product to solve the business problems of production and distribution with an exciting solution that provides real value to the end user, at the same time leaving noticeably less of an environmental impact than competitive products. “I am very satisfied with our design effort,” says Adrian van Wijk, Design Director at JDi Design. “Our green design solution has been recognized with best in class product design awards now, in both North America, Europe, and Africa.”
"The breakthrough here, which is a world first, is the modularity," says Arnold van Wijk, paper systems management expert and founder of Orgafile. "For the first time consumers are not stuck with the filing cabinets they buy; they can grow as they go, move and build up their system without the upfront cost of a fixed unit."
The Orgafile system holds three international patents and is currently on the market in South Africa.
