The glør LA\VIK has been named Top Design Winner at the European Product Design Award 2026, in Home Product Design.
About the award
The European Product Design Award honours product designs that improve everyday life. It is open to designers worldwide and has been presented every year since 2017. The organiser is the Farmani Group, founded in 1985, which also runs the International Design Awards and the Lucie Awards for photography.
Who decides
Every submission is evaluated by an independent jury of around 50 designers, educators and editors. Among them are members from Philips Experience Design, Design Museum Brussels, the Art Directors Club Germany, Central Saint Martins, Tsinghua University and Yanko Design.
What Top Design means
In 2026 the jury selected 311 professional winners from more than 40 countries. Only 47 of them received the Top Design distinction. That is fewer than one in six.
The same edition honoured designs by XPENG, Emma Sleep and TECNO.
The object
LA\VIK is reduced to the essentials: fire, material and form. A structure of stainless steel and glass frames the flame. Inside, Norwegian larvikite and sand create the contrast, rough and mineral, with a bluish sheen.
No smoke, no chimney, no installation. Tested to EN 16647, the European safety standard for bioethanol fireplaces.
Two juries, one year
LA\VIK is also a Winner at the ICONIC AWARDS 2026 of the German Design Council. Two organisations, two independent juries, the same object. Read more
