Coway design awards extend across appliances and wellness
In its October 20 awards announcement, Coway said the latest wins followed recognition at the iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and IDEA in 2026. The company described its success across those competitions and Good Design as a design “grand slam.”
The Square Fit Air Purifier series also received awards at all four competitions during the year. Coway highlighted its concealed air-intake vents, compact shape and intuitive control panel, alongside a choice of four coverage sizes.
The five Good Design winners included the newly introduced Zero Food Waste Disposer (Microorganism Type). Its inclusion broadens the recognized lineup beyond Coway’s purification appliances into food-waste handling, while two BEREX chairs represent its sleep and wellness business.

Space-saving features distinguish the winning lineup
The Icon Water Purifier 3 uses a sensor-controlled moving faucet that adjusts its height to the container beneath it. Coway says the feature accommodates vessels ranging from small cups to tall tumblers while limiting splashes.
The BEREX products apply a furniture-style approach to massage chairs. The Pebble Chair 2 uses an ergonomic frame designed to follow the body from head to thigh. The Triple Chair 2 Slim combines office-chair, recliner and massage functions, with hidden wheels for movement.
Jinsang Hwang, head of Coway Design Lab, said the company’s design philosophy centers on combining advanced technology with everyday living spaces. The announcement focused on product design and usability; it did not provide sales figures or financial guidance tied to the awards.
Conclusion
The awards recognize design across Coway’s appliance and wellness portfolio, rather than establishing a financial outcome. Coway’s stated next focus is continued development of premium products that combine functionality with home aesthetics; the announcement set no launch timetable.
