Coway Co., Ltd. received accolades at the 2026 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for two of its leading air care solutions: the Square Fit Air Purifier Series and the Inverter Dehumidifier 23L. This is the 17th consecutive year that Coway has been recognized by the IDEA Awards, and follows additional awards from Germany’s iF Design Award program and the Red Dot Design Awards, all of which rigorously evaluate innovation, user experience and aesthetic excellence to determine winners.
This year’s winning products focused on user-friendly designs and improved efficacy. The Square Fit Air Purifier Series conceals internal components to improve aesthetic unity and offers an intuitive control panel, which was praised by IDEA judges, as well as hassle-free cleaning with an anti-static top air outlet that is completely detachable and washable for easy maintenance. The Inverter Dehumidifier 23L is able to reach optimal humidity levels within half an hour, an improvement that is three times faster than its predecessor, and has a detachable side-loading water tank, a 360-degree rotating wheel base and a hidden handle for convenience, design and simplified transportation.
“Our success in sweeping the world’s top three design awards this year is a testament to our ongoing commitment to understanding our customers’ lifestyles and seamlessly balancing aesthetics with everyday usability,” said Jinsang Hwang, Head of Coway Design Lab. “Moving forward, we will continue to listen closely to our customers to introduce user-centric innovations that seamlessly integrate into their daily lives.”
