Hyundai Elevator has won the Main Prize at the Good Design Award 2023, one of the world's top four design competitions.

Launched in November 2022, the Air Sterilizer-Disinfector (PI-DD) combines air sterilization and cleaning functions in the floor indicator inside the elevator, with a perforated hole design that allows passengers and managers to naturally recognize the operating status without removing the display. In addition, the air inlet and outlet are located at the top to enhance aesthetics, and a magnetic cover is applied for easy maintenance.

Hyundai Elevator Design Lab Manager Haknam Yoon, who designed PI-DD, said, "The idea was based on the increased awareness of the need for air purification and sterilization in elevators used by an unspecified number of people due to COVID-19." "Previously, the method of installing a separate sterilizer was used, but PI-DD incorporates it into the floor indicator to improve space efficiency and aesthetics."

The judges noted that air purifiers and sterilizers are in high demand, but existing attachable products detract from the elevator's interior design, and the PI-DD was praised for its ease of management without detracting from the overall design.

Organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion since 1957, the Good Design Award is a competition that comprehensively evaluates the design, usability, and innovation of a wide range of products, from general consumer goods to systems, services, and architecture. It is considered one of the world s four major design awards, along with Germany s Red Dot and iF Design Awards, and IDEA in the United States. With this award, Hyundai Elevator has won all four of the four major awards in the world.
