Coway design awards complete a four-competition sweep
The Good Design Awards are organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion and recognize qualities including usability, innovation and sustainability. The latest wins follow Coway’s recognition at the iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and IDEA earlier in 2026.
In its 2026 Good Design Awards announcement, Coway described the results across those four competitions as a “Design Grand Slam.” The Square Fit Air Purifier series also received awards at all four competitions individually, rather than simply contributing to the company’s broader tally.
Square Fit is available in four sizes for different room coverage requirements. Its design combines concealed air intake vents with a compact exterior and an intuitive control panel, according to Coway.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Icon Water Purifier 3 | 16 centimeters wide, with a sensor-controlled faucet that adjusts to container height. |
| Square Fit Air Purifier | Four coverage sizes, concealed air intakes and a compact architectural design. |
| Zero Food Waste Disposer | Newly introduced microorganism-type food waste disposer. |
| BEREX Pebble Chair 2 | SSL frame supports the body from head to thigh; maximum reclining angle is 152 degrees. |
| BEREX Triple Chair 2 Slim | Footprint is 9% smaller than its predecessor, with hidden wheels for movement. |
Winning products prioritize space and everyday usability
The awards cover both Coway’s established purification products and its broader household and wellness range. The lineup includes the newly introduced Zero Food Waste Disposer, which uses microorganisms, alongside two chairs from BEREX, the company’s sleep and wellness brand.
Several of the product features address how appliances fit into a room or accommodate different uses. The Icon Water Purifier 3 automatically adjusts its faucet height to the container, while the BEREX Triple Chair 2 Slim can function as a desk chair, recliner and massage chair. The table summarizes specifications and features stated by Coway.
Jinsang Hwang, head of Coway Design Lab, said the awards reflected the company’s philosophy of combining advanced technology with everyday living spaces. He said Coway would continue developing products intended to improve both household functionality and home aesthetics.
Conclusion
The awards recognize design across Coway’s purification, food waste and wellness products. The announcement provides no sales targets or financial guidance, so it does not quantify any commercial benefit from the recognition.
