Overade wins the prestigious DesignEuropa Awards 2025: a major recognition for innovation and design

We are extremely proud and excited to announce that Overade has won the DesignEuropa Awards 2025, organized by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Against fierce competition—more than 1,200 entries from across Europe and beyond—this distinction attests to the innovative, aesthetic, and functional strength of our products.

What is the DesignEuropa Awards?

The DesignEuropa Awards is one of the most prestigious design competitions in Europe. Organized by the EUIPO, it celebrates creations that combine visual originality, innovation, utility, and economic impact. It's not just an aesthetic award: it recognizes designs that stand out for their ability to meet current needs while pushing the boundaries of innovation. This is exactly what we do at Overade.

This 2025 edition saw the participation of more than 1,200 creations from numerous industries! Ranging from electronics to furniture, including everyday objects and sports equipment. To be selected and crowned in this context is a real achievement — and proof that our approach to design resonates strongly in Europe and France. :)

Why is this award particularly significant for Overade?

1. A prize focused on design and innovation

Unlike some competitions that focus solely on technical or functional aspects, DesignEuropa evaluates the product as a whole: aesthetics, utility, ergonomics, durability, and market impact too! And with this LIFE helmet, we're making a difference. And changes in usage. Our fundamental goal: to encourage everyone to ride a bike, and to transform your daily life into a healthy and inspiring adventure.

2. European recognition of intellectual value

The EUIPO is the institution responsible for intellectual property rights within the European Union. Receiving an award from them increases the credibility of our approach to protecting industrial property and shows that our innovations are recognized among the best European designs! This also strengthens our position as a serious and forward-thinking player in the mobility and urban cycle sector.

3. A reward against ultra-selective competition

With over 1,200 applicants, the standard was extremely high! Standing out in this context proves that our product isn't just "good": it stands out. It's a strong validation of our headset's potential to conquer new markets and earn the trust of our users.

What this means for the LIFE helmet (and our next creations)

This victory adds to our list of awards for this helmet, and confirms that our vision of the urban helmet - combining safety, aesthetics and connectivity - is in line with market expectations.

• It reinforces the legitimacy of the LIFE helmet design, which is not just safety equipment, but a carefully designed object, where form and function meet.

• It supports the European dissemination of our technology (notably lighting, the OXI® Wireless system, etc.) as a quality benchmark.

• It encourages us to push our research and development even further, to imagine products that are elegant, safe, innovative and useful for urban mobility!
