Samsung Electronics has won a total of eight awards, including two top honors, at the 2026 Red Dot Design Award in the design concept category.
According to industry sources on July 14, Samsung was recognized for its ability to understand user situations and preferences through artificial intelligence (AI), showcasing the direction of future lifestyles. The top award, Best of the Best, was awarded to the 'Home Appliance Consumables Concept Design' and the next-generation kids robot 'Drimo and Minimo.'
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world's three major design awards, organized by the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
The Home Appliance Consumables Concept Design was designed to intuitively convey management methods through color coding. Permanent parts are marked in gray, recyclable parts in green, and general waste in brown, allowing for disposal without additional explanation.
Following the Gold Award at the IDEA 2024 and the Gold Award at the iF Design Award 2026, this latest Red Dot top honor marks a clean sweep of the world's three major design awards.
Another award-winning project, Drimo and Minimo, is a kids robot concept that utilizes AI to provide personalized experiences tailored to a child's interests and growth stages. The home robot 'Drimo' and the portable 'Minimo' work together to support children as they interact with characters created by generative AI.
Six design concepts aimed at enhancing quality of life through AI technology also received awards. These include the 'AI Beauty Mirror,' which analyzes skin conditions to suggest personalized care; the 'Panorama UX,' which optimizes screen interaction based on context; and the 'AI Kitchen,' which assists with ingredient management, cooking, and cleaning.
Additionally, the 'Spatial Tab,' an interactive platform based on glasses-free 3D, the empathetic AI home companion 'PUCO,' and the 'Fluid AI Design System,' which generates customized interfaces, also received awards.
Mauro Porcini, Chief Design Officer of Samsung Electronics' DX Division, stated, "As technology advances, understanding people deeply becomes increasingly important. We will continue to create natural and meaningful experiences based on sensory designs that reflect individual diversity."
