Daikin Industries, Ltd. has received the prestigious Good Design Award 2026 for five products, including:
🌀 residential air conditioners for the Japanese market, F/C/E series
🌬️ Streamer air purifier, model MC757A
🫁 portable oxygen concentrator
🏢 cassette ceiling air conditioner for Southeast Asian countries
The award is presented by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion. Striving to improve air, the company draws on its proprietary technologies and expertise, offering air-conditioning solutions that meet the needs of a wide range of spaces and highlight the value of design as a tool to enhance comfort and air quality.
F/C/E series residential air conditioners were recognized for their harmonious integration with residential interiors and for reducing the burden on installers and service technicians. By revising component layouts and standardizing solutions across models of different capacities and functions, it was possible to:
reduce work time
decrease labor requirements
stabilize quality
optimize material procurement
The matte finish and flat form of the units allow them to blend naturally into the space, providing long-term comfort.
Streamer air purifier MC757A stands out for:
compact dimensions: 315 mm wide and 530 mm high
minimalist design
a low center of gravity
a TAFU filter with a service life of up to 10 years without replacement (which reduces operating costs and simplifies maintenance)
The portable oxygen concentrator is designed for patients who need home oxygen therapy and reduces physical and psychological burden when leaving home. The device and the branded bag form a single system: charging, battery replacement, and connecting the nasal cannula are possible without removing the unit.
The two-way carrying method — over the shoulder or as a backpack — makes it possible to adapt use to the user’s condition, and the appearance avoids clinical sterility and fits naturally into everyday life.
The cassette ceiling air conditioner for Southeast Asia complements commercial interiors harmoniously thanks to a simple design featuring motifs of traditional weaving and bamboo. Optimized air ducts and the fan provide 15% higher airflow while maintaining low noise levels, which is important for rapid cooling and humidity control in a tropical climate.
