SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 — LG Electronics (LG) has been recognized with a total of 27 awards, including the prestigious Best of the Best honour, at the 2026 Red Dot Design Award, one of the world’s leading industrial design award programs. Reaffirming LG’s design leadership, this impressive showing follows on from the company’s success at the 2026 iF Design Award, where it secured 26 accolades.

 

The winner of the coveted Best of the Best distinction at this year’s Red Dot Award, the LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV combines LG’s True Wireless technology¹ with its iconic Wallpaper Design. The new Wallpaper TV features a nine-millimeter-class² profile that allows it to sit flush against the wall. Essential components, including the power supply and speakers, are integrated into the screen itself while the separate Zero Connect Box – where all external inputs are connected – can be positioned up to 10 meters away for a clean, uncluttered viewing environment. Extending this wireless capability, LG has also received TÜV Rheinland’s True Wireless Lossless Vision certification,³ acknowledging picture quality that remains uncompromised over wireless transmission.

 

Beyond the Wallpaper TV, LG was recognized for a diverse range of products blending seamless, integrated design with enhanced user convenience. Winners include the company’s French door refrigerator with Zero Clearance hinge⁴ system, which enables flexible installation and a flush-to-the-wall fit; the LG Whisen Objet Collection Cool air conditioner, which boasts a refined, minimalist design; and the LG Sound Suite, a modular home audio system that intelligently adapts immersive Dolby Atmos^® sound to the listener and the space, delivering cinematic audio without complex setup.

The company’s design competitiveness was further highlighted by innovative solutions from its future-growth businesses. The LG CLOiD home robot, which can assist with household chores, understand human voices and gestures and express itself with a variety of facial expressions, received an award. A stylish, efficient solution for home heating and hot water supply, the LG Therma V air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) indoor units – the Control, Hydro and Combi Units – were honoured for its harmonious design with an intuitive 6.8-inch colour touchscreen interface. In addition, the SKS showroom in Chicago, U.S., was recognized for its luxurious spatial design.

 

Additional recognized products include xboom speakers, UltraGear gaming monitors and LG gram laptops.

 

“We will continue to develop customer-centric designs that blend naturally into living spaces and enhance user convenience,” said Chung Wook-jun, head of the Corporate Design Center at LG Electronics.
