Wigiwama’s Flipster wins international recognition at the German Design Awards 2026

Wigiwama is proud to announce that its multifunctional modular soft chair, the Flipster, has been recognised in the “Excellent Product Design – Furniture” category at the German Design Awards 2026. The award ceremony took place in Frankfurt am Main, bringing together the international design community to celebrate innovation, creativity and outstanding design.

"Versatility and a clear, reduced design language define Flipster, creating a distinctive presence within any space.
The flexible modular construction unites functionality with an inspiring aesthetic that appeals to children and adults alike. The consistent use of high-quality, sustainable materials and comfortable usability makes this project stand out as an iconic highlight in an exemplary way."

– Jury's statement

Since 2012, the German Design Awards have honoured products and concepts offering smart, forward-thinking solutions to today's challenges, bringing global excellence to the stage. Every year, thousands of entries from over 60 countries are submitted, making the awards a truly global platform for brands and designers who recognise the power of design as a strategic tool.

The Flipster stood out thanks to its clear Bauhaus-inspired aesthetics, its multifunctional, modular construction and its thoughtful balance between form and comfort. Designed to fit seamlessly into modern interiors, the Flipster can easily be transformed from a chair into a bed or play area, encouraging children to explore and develop their cognitive and emotional skills, while remaining equally comfortable and elegant for adults.
