Commercial Interior Design

In 2019, Jordan-based Twelve Degrees won the Audi Innovation Award for its product, Pincher, as highlighted by *Commercial Interior Design*. The lightweight silicon device allows users to add a precise “pinch” of salt or seasonings, helping to control salt intake, which could reduce high blood pressure and heart disease while enhancing the flavor of home-cooked meals. Twelve Degrees received a $25,000 cash prize to cover intellectual property registration, legal counsel, and business development costs. The jury panel, held during Dubai Design Week, will mentor the team as they further develop Pincher. As part of their prize, Twelve Degrees will also visit Audi’s factory in Germany.
