Miele excelled at the iF Design Awards 2026, securing 19 accolades and two gold honors for its innovative, user-centric design.
Miele has achieved outstanding success at the iF Design Award 2026: The company received 19 awards in total, including two gold awards. The jury was particularly impressed by the combination of high-quality design, intuitive operation and tangible added value for users. The top honours went to the ‘Dreams’ outdoor kitchen and the KFFD 6867 freestanding fridge-freezer. This year, only 75 out of more than 10,000 submissions worldwide received gold. An international jury of 129 design experts commended Miele’s products for their clear design language, innovative functions and consistent user orientation. “A total of 19 awards, including two in gold, emphasise the high design quality at Miele. They show the close collaboration between our design and development teams, who combine technological expertise, creativity and a strong focus on customer needs to create internationally recognised products,” said Janina Forberger, Vice President Design at Miele.
Consistent design for modern kitchens
In addition to the two gold winners, Miele received several awards in the kitchen category, including for its French Door refrigerators, MattFinish and DiamondFinish hobs and the M Sense networked cooking system. These products stand out thanks to their clear operating concepts, high-quality materials and a consistent design across all appliance categories. The Pearl Beige colour concept received an award for its systematic integration of design, materials and spatial impact. The Gourmet Box Set was also recognised as a multidimensional accessory that helps users cook, store and organise food in a smart way.
Durable materials in the outdoor, laundry and professional degments
With the ‘Dreams’ product family, Miele is demonstrating its design strength in the outdoor segment. Alongside the outdoor kitchen, the Fire Pro IQ gas barbecue and its accessories also received awards. The jury highlighted the consistent design concept with durable materials, clean lines and intelligent technology. In the laundry care segment, the T2 Nova Edition dryer impressed the jury with its minimalist premium design, the new M Touch Pro feature and an innovative lighting concept. Thanks to a proximity sensor, the appliance “wakes up” as soon as someone approaches. Additional lighting effects provide intuitive support during operation and make everyday life easier. Miele was also recognised in the medical technology field: The CompactLine PWD 8682 thermal disinfector received an award for its compact, resource-efficient concept, tailored specifically to the needs of small practice teams.
