The Hapro Verno has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2026. This international recognition confirms the vision behind this innovative roof box: a future-proof design in which sustainability, functionality, and design come together seamlessly.

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world's leading design awards and is awarded to products that excel in design quality, innovation, user-friendliness, and impact. The awarding of this prize underscores the distinctive character of the Hapro Verno as a sustainable roof box of the latest generation.

Crafted with vision: sustainability as a starting point

The development of the Hapro Verno roof box started from a clear conviction: combining maximum functionality with a minimal ecological footprint. That vision runs like a common thread through the entire process, from design to production and transport.

The Verno is largely manufactured from recycled material, fully produced in the Netherlands, and assembled with parts sourced within Europe. These short supply chains limit transport kilometers and ensure maximum control over quality, working conditions, and environmental impact.

Smart design, lower CO₂ emissions

An important distinguishing feature of the Hapro Verno is its innovative, nestable design. By placing the base upside down in the lid, up to 40% less packaging material is required. Additionally, storage and transport become more efficient because less air is transported. This results in a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Sustainability was also a conscious choice regarding lifespan. The Verno has a modular construction, making parts easy to replace. Furthermore, Hapro guarantees that parts will remain available for at least 25 years. This significantly extends the service life of the roof box and prevents unnecessary waste.

Red Dot Design Award: recognition for design and vision

Winning the Red Dot Design Award underscores that the Hapro Verno is not only sustainable and functional, but also excels in design. The award confirms that mobility and responsible product design can go hand in hand, without compromising on ease of use, safety, and appearance.
