The glør LA\VIK is a Winner at the ICONIC AWARDS 2026. The distinction comes from the German Design Council, Germany's authority on design since 1953.
The institution behind it
The German Design Council was founded in 1953 on the initiative of the German parliament. For more than seventy years it has set the benchmark for good design in Germany. The ICONIC AWARDS are its international platform for architecture, interior design and product design, presented every year since 2013.
800 entries. 45 countries. One jury.
In 2026, around 800 projects from more than 45 countries were submitted to the ICONIC AWARDS. Every entry is reviewed, compared and discussed by an independent international jury. This year it brought together the founding partner of Norm Architects in Copenhagen, a design director of COBE, the managing partner of Ippolito Fleitz Group and experts from Gensler, Werner Sobek and Tsinghua University.
They judge the overall concept, design quality, choice of materials, quality of detail, functionality, safety, longevity and degree of innovation.
The category: Special
Most products compete in familiar categories such as Furniture, Lighting or Kitchen. Special is reserved for something else: novel product typologies. Objects that do not fit into an existing category.
A tabletop fire built around 300 million year old Norwegian larvikite, one that also carries scent, is exactly that.
In good company
The 2026 winners list includes projects by ETH Zürich, Kaldewei and Covivio. On 6 October 2026 the winners are honoured at BMW Welt in Munich, in front of around 500 guests from architecture, industry and real estate.
The object
LA\VIK is reduced to the essentials: fire, material and form. Stainless steel and glass create a precise, cool frame. Inside, larvikite and sand bring the contrast, rough and mineral, with a bluish sheen that shifts between grey, blue and black.
LA\VIK was also named Top Design Winner at the European Product Design Award 2026. Read more
