The Red Dot Design Award is an international design competition organized by the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Winners are selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of innovation, functionality, aesthetics, and completeness across various fields including product design, brand & communication design, and design concept.

Gourmet Bridge received high praise for its spatial design that modernly reinterprets traditional Korean aesthetics, taking into account the complex movement routes and stay environment of airport users. It was especially noted for incorporating the symbolism of Incheon International Airport—the gateway connecting Korea and the world—through the concept of Korea’s traditional ‘window’ (chang).

CJ Freshway currently operates a total of four Gourmet Bridge locations at Incheon International Airport: the T1 East Terminal, T2 Central East Terminal, T2 East Terminal, and the Boarding Terminal. Each location embodies a unique theme: tradition, world, and future.

A CJ Freshway representative stated, "This award is meaningful as it recognizes not only CJ Freshway’s capabilities in food service operations but also our competitiveness in spatial design," adding, "We will continue to expand our differentiated concession operation model that encompasses menu, service, and space."
