In July 2025, the Stûv sP20-B pellet stove received the prestigious Red Dot Award, one of the world’s most renowned design prizes.
This accolade underlines Stûv’s ability to combine design, innovation, and environmental performance in one product.
Stûv had already been recognised in 2016 with the sP10, praised for its originality and quiet operation.
The sP20-B now continues this trajectory, confirming Stûv’s role as a benchmark in international industrial design.
Each year, the Red Dot Award evaluates thousands of products against nine criteria, including innovation, functionality, sustainability, aesthetics, ergonomics, and ecological relevance.
The Stûv sP20-B was recognised for:
- A unique view of the fire: a large curved glass offering the feeling of a wood-burning stove.
- Minimalist design: a seamless line from combustion chamber to frame, free of unnecessary details.
- Ease of use: ergonomic filling system, extended autonomy (30 kg hopper, 2 bags of pellets), automatic ash removal.
- High energy efficiency: above 90% efficiency.
- Eco-friendly performance: near-zero particle emissions, exceeding EcoDesign standards.
- Belgian manufacturing: local craftsmanship and long-lasting quality.
With its low-profile design, the sP20-B adapts to diverse interiors, from urban flats to country homes.
Its gentle heat spreads naturally and can also be channelled into an adjacent room thanks to an innovative convection system.
It reflects the codes of contemporary interior design:
- Clean lines that integrate seamlessly into any space.
- A broad, calming flame as the focal point of the room.
- Discreet technology serving comfort rather than display.
Stûv paid close attention to day-to-day usability. Every detail was designed to simplify the experience:
- Ergonomic top-loading system with bag support and damped tablet.
- Three control interfaces: built-in screen, mobile app, optional remote control.
- Easy maintenance with quick access to the glass and ash pan.
This reflects a strong conviction: pellet heating can be practical, aesthetic, and sustainable at the same time.
At the heart of the sP20-B lies the patented Flower Burner©. It ensures optimal combustion, a stable flame, and minimal emissions.
- Thermal efficiency: above 90%.
- Particle emissions: near zero, ahead of future European regulations.
- Fully compliant with EcoDesign 2022.
Since 1955, the Red Dot Awards have honoured excellence in product, brand, and concept design.
In 2025, more than 5,000 products were reviewed by a panel of 50 international experts.
The Stûv sP20-B stood out for transcending heating and offering a full experience: warmth, comfort, design, and sustainability.
For more than 40 years, Stûv has been designing and manufacturing in Belgium heating solutions using wood and pellets that celebrate the fire itself.
Every stove, insert, or fireplace carries the same ambition: to unite the functional dimension of heating with the emotional experience of the flame.
With the sP20-B, Stûv once again demonstrates that creativity, design, and ecological commitment can be combined in a product that is both accessible and durable.
The Red Dot Award 2025 for the Stûv sP20-B is more than a design prize. It is a confirmation that pellet heating can be beautiful, ecological, and effortless to use.
This award also highlights Stûv’s place as an innovative brand redefining the experience of fire while addressing the energy challenges of tomorrow.
