TheT3 Awards 2022has been the biggest ever, and this year we’ve introduced a completely brand new category of awards called Design Icons.
We created the Design Icons awards as we wanted to really hang a lantern on the tech and products that we feel is really changing the game through innovative, next-generation design.
As such, right here we celebrate 12 of the most forward-thinking design products we’ve tested and seen this year, from futuristic new electric cars, to amazing game-changing ovens and onto pioneering bike accessories and clothing.
These are the T3 Awards 2022 Design Icons.

Design Icon – Auto
Mercedes-BenzEQXX
It’s no exaggeration to say that the Mercedes-Benz EQXX gives us a glimpse of the future of motoring: it can drive an incredible 1000km on a single charge, thanks to both its ultra-efficient hardware and its next-gen aerodynamics. There are even solar panels on the roof to boost range! Add in all the luxury and style that you would expect from Mercedes-Benz, and it’s a hugely appealing, forward-looking car that will be looked back on in hundreds of years as a trailblazer of the new electric age.

Design Icon – Kitchen
SMEG Galileo Omnichef
As the name suggests, Smeg’s Omnichef is the oven that does it all. It combines traditional convection, steamandmicrowave cooking, using one, two or all three at once or in sequence, to give the optimum combination of speed, succulence, colour and texture to your foods.
Whether you use your own recipes or one of the hundreds of pre-sets, the Omnichef, 100% designed in Italia, gives great results. If that’s not sufficient, a range of smart accessories turn it into an air fryer, pizza oven and even an indoor barbecue!
You can learn more about the Galileo Omnichef on SMEG’s official website.

Design Icon – Luxury
Bang & Olufsen Beolab 28
The Beolab 28 speakers from Bang & Olufsen are a true luxury – they give you (no exaggeration) cinema-quality audio at home and are the brand’s “most advanced” wireless speakers to date. Even before you turn these speakers on and start playing something, you can tell that they’re a work of audio engineering art, and only for audiophiles with the finest taste. The Beolab 28 cab be placed on the floor or hung on your wall, and come in multiple finishes with optional speaker covers, but whatever specification you go for, you can rest assured they are the ultimate in luxury design.

Wellness Design Icon: QuietOn 3 sleep earbuds
QuietOn 3 sleep earbuds
The QuietOn 3 sleep earbuds only do one thing, but they do it exceptionally well. In a market that’s packed with advancedsleep trackersthat’ll score your snooze quality and fancysleep headphonesdesigned to pipe soothing sounds into your brain as you try to drop off, the QuietOn 3 buds offer something essentially unique: active noise cancellation for side sleepers. These little in-ears are designed to mute the low-frequency sounds that are typically to blame for disturbed slumber (talkative neighbours, rumbling traffic, early-morning roadworks, snoring sleep-mates) and, as ourQuietOn 3 sleep earbuds reviewreveals, they manage it perfectly. The slimline design stays firmly in place all night and doesn’t feel like its trying to burrow its way into your brain if you like to lie on your side. A very long-lasting battery and faff-free, functional design secure these as our Wellness Design Icon for 2022. Sure, they don’t come cheap, but who can put a price on a great night’s sleep?

Design Icon – Smart Home
Hive Thermostat Mini
The winner of this year’s Best Smart Energy Product award also bags the inaugural Design Icon – Smart Home award, which is testament to not just this thermostat’s performance but also its killer looks and styling, too.
The original Hive Thermostat was a great device but was quite bulky and its interface not as intuitive as it could of been, but in the Thermostat Mini Hive took everything that was great about the original device and then shrank it and simplified its interface.
The result is a slim, sleek and stylish smart thermostat that is a pleasure to use and makes monitoring your energy usage easy. It’s an iconic design and deserves recognition. Congratulations to Hive!
