The Coleman Snap ’N Go Cooler and Breville Barista Series received 2026 Red Dot Awards for Product Design.
Both product lines were recognized for designs that make the consumer experience easier and more enjoyable.
The honors build on previous Red Dot recognition across Newell Brands’ outdoor, home appliance and baby product portfolios.
Great design is about more than how a product looks. It begins with understanding consumers: what they need, how they live and the small frustrations that can stand between them and a better everyday experience.
That consumer-centered approach earned Newell Brands two 2026 Red Dot Awards for Product Design. The Coleman Snap ’N Go Cooler and the Breville Barista Series were each recognized by the international competition for bringing together distinctive design, thoughtful engineering and intuitive functionality.
A Global Mark of Design Excellence
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world’s largest and most established design competitions. Each year, an international jury evaluates products for qualities including functionality, innovation, aesthetics and overall design excellence. Products selected for the Red Dot Award share one defining characteristic: outstanding design.
This year’s awards continue a history of Red Dot recognition for Newell Brands and its design teams.
This year’s honors continue a history of Red Dot recognition for Newell Brands and its brands.

Across categories, these awards reflect a consistent design philosophy: listen closely to consumers, identify opportunities to improve their experiences and refine every detail with purpose.
Coleman Snap ’N Go: A Cooler Designed to Make Room for More
Traditional hard-sided coolers can take up significant space even when they are not in use. The Coleman Snap ’N Go Cooler addresses that challenge through an innovative folding mechanism that allows the coolers to collapse in seconds for easier transportation and space-saving storage.
When unfolded, the coolers provide the performance consumers expect from Coleman. High-quality polyurethane insulation keeps food and drinks cold for up to 54 hours, while a removable antibacterial liner supports easier cleaning and thorough drying. Available in multiple sizes, the series provides a flexible cooling solution for camping trips, festivals, picnics and everyday outdoor gatherings.
The Red Dot jury highlighted the product’s ability to become compact almost instantly, recognizing it as a flexible cooling solution designed for life on the go.
The award reflects Coleman’s commitment to removing barriers between consumers and the outdoor experiences they enjoy. By rethinking how a cooler is transported and stored, the Snap ’N Go delivers trusted cooling performance without requiring consumers to permanently make room for a bulky container.
Breville Barista Series: Bringing the Café Experience Home
The Breville Barista Series, known as the Sunbeam Origins Series in select markets, was designed to make preparing high-quality espresso at home feel polished, intuitive and approachable.
Clean lines, matte surfaces and polished accents give the machines a sophisticated, professional presence. Distinctive control dials and a clearly organized interface guide users through each step of the coffee-making process, from grinding and brewing to frothing milk. Premium materials and precision workmanship further support lasting performance.
The Red Dot jury recognized both the series’ original design language and its intuitive operation, noting that the machines create the promise of a professional-grade coffee experience.
The honor is especially meaningful because it marks the second Red Dot Award for Newell Brands’ espresso portfolio. The Breville Barista Signature, known as the Sunbeam Origins Signature in select markets, received the award in 2024 for combining formal elegance with user-friendly controls and features designed to simplify the preparation of high-quality espresso.
Earning recognition across multiple generations of the portfolio demonstrates the team’s continuous focus on refinement. Consumer insight, thoughtful engineering and beautiful design come together to create appliances that look at home on the countertop and help consumers feel confident throughout the brewing experience.
Designing Better Everyday Experiences
While the Coleman Snap ’N Go Cooler and Breville Barista Series serve consumers in very different moments, they share the same foundation.
Each began with a clear understanding of the consumer experience. Each addresses practical needs through intentional design. And each demonstrates how aesthetics, engineering and usability can work together to create a product people enjoy owning and using.
These two Red Dot Awards recognize not only the finished products, but also the talented teams behind them. Their work reflects Newell Brands’ continued commitment to designing innovative, consumer-centered solutions that make everyday moments better.
