Pivot Glide Awning Wins at 2024 Australian Good Design Awards
Celebrating Design Excellence and Innovation
The 2024 Australian Good Design Awards, held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, was a night to remember. Over 1000 guests from design, architecture, and business gathered to recognize the finest innovations that define the future of design. This year’s theme, "The Design Effect," highlighted the powerful role design plays in shaping sustainable, efficient, and beautiful products that improve our world.
One of the standouts in this year’s awards was the Pivot Glide Awning, a product recognized in the Product Design category for its exceptional innovation and functionality.
What Makes Pivot Glide Special?
The Pivot Glide Awning is a revolutionary design, merging the best of traditional blinds with modern motorization and advanced materials. This product functions as an awning, pivot arm, and straight drop blind in one, providing seamless shade and ventilation. What truly sets it apart is its user-friendly motorized system, making it an ideal solution for the elderly or those with mobility challenges. Additionally, the Pivot Glide reduces air conditioning costs by enhancing airflow while shading windows and doors.
The Jury praised Pivot Glide, stating:
"The Pivot Glide merges the functions of an awning, pivot arm, and straight drop blind, modernising traditional auto-lock blinds with motorisation, which is particularly beneficial for the elderly. It provides effective shading for windows and doors while allowing airflow, helping to reduce air conditioning costs. The Jury congratulates the development team for introducing new utility and ease of use into this product design."
