ELMAR Receives the iF Design Award 2026 ELMAR, designed by Taiji Fujimori Atelier and produced by Uchida Yoko, has received the iF Design Award 2026. Design Concept
From Equipment to Furniture
ELMAR is designed to redefine workplace furniture not as mere work equipment, but as furniture that enriches everyday working life.
By combining moulded plywood, polymer, steel, and solid wood in a simple and primitive composition, the design balances functional performance with the natural warmth of materials.
The ELMAR series proposes a workspace that softly blurs the boundary between office and everyday life, supporting more flexible and human-centred ways of working.

ELMAR introduces a new perspective on workplace furniture, where functional performance and the warmth of natural materials coexist to create more comfortable and inspiring work environments.
