Good Design Award
Urban Gray modular series awarded Good Design for kitchen space optimization in compact urban residences.
The Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award is the oldest design award program in North America, running since 1950. The Urban Gray modular series won the 2023 Good Design Award in the Kitchen & Bath category, with the jury recognising the space-optimization approach for compact urban residences under 60 sqm.
Urban Gray is the most specified line for Asian metropolitan projects — Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei — where average apartment sizes are 40–70 sqm and the kitchen often doubles as living space. The line's pull-out pantries, integrated appliance garages, and 90-degree corner carousels are designed to fit a 3.5 m × 1.8 m kitchen footprint while still holding a full dinner-for-six table.
For developers building small-footprint residential projects, Urban Gray is a procurement-friendly line because it ships in modular sub-assemblies that fit a 20GP container efficiently. A 24-set Urban Gray order fits in a single 20GP, which is the smallest practical shipment volume for cross-border housing projects. The Good Design Award citation is the standard evidence document for spec-approval reviews in Asian markets.
Audit-trail documentation that ships with every container.
