LG Electronics has proven its design competitiveness by winning awards at the IDEA, one of the world's top three design competitions, following its successes at the Red Dot and iF awards. The company is expanding its design capabilities beyond product design to include packaging, enhancing the overall customer experience.
On August 21, LG announced that it received a total of 17 awards at the 'IDEA 2026' event organized by the Industrial Designers Society of America, including 5 bronze awards and 12 merit awards. When combined with the 55 awards it previously received from the Red Dot and iF design awards, LG has secured a total of 72 awards from the world's three major design competitions this year.
The bronze awards included the 9mm thick wireless wallpaper TV 'LG Signature OLED W' and the 'LG Therma V' air source heat pump indoor unit. Other winners included the LG Smart Monitor Swing and LG Puricare Aeromini.
Twelve products, including the home robot 'LG Cloid,' the LG Puricare system air purifier, and the LG Gram Pro, received merit awards. Notably, some products, such as Cloid and the Signature OLED W, achieved recognition at all three design awards, earning them triple honors.
In packaging design, the Xboom series and LG Sound Suite were also recognized. This highlights LG's commitment to expanding its design competitiveness beyond product form to include packaging and brand experience.
As LG continues to win awards at the world's top design competitions, experts evaluate that its design strategy, which emphasizes product differentiation, harmony with living spaces, and user convenience, is yielding positive results.
Jung Wook-jun, Executive Vice President of LG's Design Management Center, stated, "This recognition reflects our design competitiveness that harmonizes with customers' living spaces while enhancing convenience and aesthetics. We will continue to provide differentiated customer experiences through innovative, customer-centric design."
