Hyundai Elevator announced that its smart floor indicator PI-DD has won Japan’s Good Design Award 2023, one of the four major international design awards, The Korea Herald reports. Launched last November, PI-DD purifies and sterilizes air inside an elevator. The display device, sterilizer and air filter are all hidden behind a stainless metal perforated sheet that naturally matches the interior design of the elevator. The device draws in contaminated air through holes in the hidden side and pushes clean air from the top, which is designed to keep the dust from adhering to the front cover. By applying magnets to the cover, users can also easily assemble and manage the floor indicator while reducing the risk of damage. According to the jury’s evaluation, the product was highly recognized as it is functional, simply designed and easy to clean. With this award, Hyundai Elevator has been recognized by all four major international design awards, including the iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and International Design Excellence Awards. The Japan Good Design Award was established in 1957.
