The Leise Studio collection has received the International Design Award Baden-Württemberg "Focus Energy 2006 in Silver". More than 70 products were awarded, from fire engines to citrus presses. In the furniture category, the jury restricted itself to eight products from six manufacturers. In addition to the Julies from Leise, there was furniture from Wilkhahn, Nils Holger Moormann, Walter Knoll, Interstuhl and Vitra.

The presentation took place in the new Weststadt workshop center in Ludwigsburg. An exhibition without light, where every visitor could use a flashlight to illuminate the exhibits themselves and discover them for themselves in this unusual way.

The jury writes about the quiet furniture:
Simple, nice modular furniture, well designed, high quality, flexible and mobile, survives several moves. The functionality as well as the design and the quality of workmanship are impressive. A new interpretation of modular furniture.
