Iconic Award 2024: Innovative Interior

The Iconic Awards aim to honour trailblazing interior designs. This includes all companies creating products that open up new creative possibilities. The competition covers a variety of product segments, ranging from furniture and lighting fixtures to valves, textiles, and outdoor equipment.

Gira has once again reaffirmed its position as a frontrunner in the building automation and smart home technology industries, securing a prestigious award at the Iconic Awards 2024. The company's innovative Gira One and Gira Keyless In Fingerprint impressed the judges, earning them the top spot in the Product Design – Building Fixtures category for their exceptional design and technological prowess.

The Gira One System epitomizes intuitive control and extensive customization, transforming your home into a smart and comfortable haven. With features like blind, lighting, and climate control, alongside the integration of Sonos sound systems, Gira One empowers comprehensive home management.

The innovative Gira Keyless In Fingerprint access system has also received an Iconic Award. This cutting-edge module is an extension for the Gira System 106, enabling convenient, keyless access control via fingerprint, and is distinguished by its flexibility during installation. Available in a range of five different materials, the Gira Keyless In Fingerprint can be seamlessly integrated into the design of any living space. The management and adjustment of access permissions and times is made possible by the intuitive Gira Keyless In App, which gives users control over their home from anywhere.

Welcome to the world of intuitive control: The Gira pushbutton sensor 4 System 55 is your intelligent companion in KNX Smart Homes. Dim, switch, control blinds and the temperature - operating your home has never been this easy. As part of the Gira System 55, the push button sensor offers numerous options to combine various frames and inserts from the seven Gira design lines. This allows you to perfectly match the switch to your interior style. High-quality laser inscription or a personalised label can also be applied to the buttons.

In 2022, more than 400 companies joined the race for the coveted prize. Among these, 22 participants stood out in particular. Gira was among the top 22 who earned the title “Best of Best”, receiving Iconic Awards in the category “Building Furnishings” for two products: the Gira System 3000 touch top unit and the flush-mounted variant of Gira System 106.

For 2022, the Iconic Awards: Innovative Interior comprised nine categories:

• bathroom and wellness

• office and workplace

• building furnishings

• kitchen and housekeeping

• lighting

• furniture

• outdoor products

• textiles

• walls, floors, ceilings

Gira System 3000 combines three smart functions: light, heating, and blind control. With the intuitive touch top unit, this becomes even more comfortable. A slight tap or swipe is enough to precisely adjust the brightness or the blinds’ position. As part of Gira System 55, the touch top unit can be mixed and matched with all possible frame variants to fit any interior style.

Smart technology meets modern aesthetics: Gira System 106 is a door intercom that complements the Gira home stations. Thanks to its modular structure, the system can be customised according to individual preferences – in terms of functionality as well as design. Apart from the classic surface-mounted installation, the Gira System 106 is also available as a flush-mounted variant. Anyone who aims for a harmonious look can thus integrate their door intercom seamlessly into the facade.

In the previous year, Gira also won two prices and thereby made it into the top 20 out of 500 competitors. The lucky winners: the Gira pushbutton sensor 4 and the Gira motion detector Cube.

In KNX Smart Homes, the Gira pushbutton sensor 4 takes manual switch control to a whole new level. Its smooth operating surface is available in various colours and materials, including black glass, white glass, and aluminium. Integrated LEDs serve as a status display for connected devices and turn the switch into an eye-catching highlight.

As its name suggests, the most prominent feature of the Gira motion detector Cube is its cubic shape. Equipped with smart sensors, the device proves convenient for both new builds and retrofittings. It comes in two variants – anthracite and pure white glossy – and can serve as either a subtle accent or a striking statement on the facade.

The Iconic Awards: Innovative Interior is sustained by the German Design Council. Founded in 1953 at the initiative of the German government, this council aims to strengthen design talent on the free market in Germany. Currently, around 340 companies hold membership.
