Along with Germany’s ‘Red Dot Design Award’ and the United States’ ‘IDEA Design Award,’ it is recognized globally for its prestige. This year, about 10,800 entries from 72 countries competed.

The ‘Wells Air Garden Air Purifier,’ which won the main prize in the product category, embodies Kyowon Wells’ unique philosophy and interpretation of the essence of air purifiers through its design. It features an air outlet grill design inspired by tree rings and applies nature-inspired colors such as ‘Wood Beige’ and ‘Herb Green,’ realizing an eco-friendly design. In particular, the purifier incorporates an eave-shaped suction structure inspired by the eaves of traditional Korean houses (Hanok), improving the suction system’s performance by reducing noise by 4 dB and increasing floor suction speed by three times, which received high praise from the jury.

A Kyowon Wells representative said, “The Wells Air Garden Air Purifier is a product that expresses the essential value of an air purifier, which plays a role like a forest tree that provides clean air and breathes life into a space, through its design. We plan to continue introducing unique home appliance designs with Kyowon Wells’ original interpretations that offer new experiences to our customers.”
