■Evaluation comments from the Good Design Award Jury

Regarding the operation part mounted on the roll screen and blinds, we reviewed the looped operation code that has been regarded as a danger to young children so far, and we always use the independently developed non-looped operation code. This product, which has a special mechanism in a high position and is wound on the reel of the main body, is safe and looks good, and is highly evaluated in terms of both function, safety, and design. It has been carefully designed with smooth operation feeling, reduced operation load, and improved durability. Furthermore, the curtain body is set to descend at an appropriate speed while applying the brakes. .

What is the Good Design Award?

Inheriting the good design product selection system established in 1957, this is an activity to evaluate and promote Japan's leading designs. As a global design award in which many companies and organizations in Japan and overseas participate, it is held every year with the aim of improving the quality of life and using design to solve social issues and themes. The award-winning "G Mark" is widely known as a symbol of excellent design.
