LG set another record for a Korean-based company by being honoured with 30 iF Design Awards for excellence, including the most prestigious: iF Gold Award for the company’s CordZero canister vacuum cleaner.

In addition to the iF Gold Award, other distinctions were awarded to products such as LG SIGNATURE OLED TV W, LG Gram, LG V20 and LG Tone Bluetooth headsets, a statement from the electronics company said at the weekend.

For more than 60 years, the iF Design Awards has been one of the premiere design competitions in the world, organised by iF International Forum Design GmbH of Germany. The guiding principles behind the awards have been to identify, support and promote good design and to raise awareness of design among the public and the role it plays in consumers’ lives. This year’s competition saw a total of 5,500 products submitted from 59 countries.  

“LG’s product designs draw inspiration from our understanding of the essential needs of our customers,” said Noh Chang-ho, Vice President and Head of Corporate design at LG Electronics. 

“These awards demonstrate how our commitment to aesthetics is transforming the user experience. We will continue to offer products that challenge the boundaries of beauty and function,” he concluded.
