Hanwha Corporation E&C Division's Forena Cozy Curve Elevator Selected for 'Good Design'

[Financial News] Hanwha Corporation E&C Division's newly developed 'Forena Cozy Curve Elevator' has been selected for the '2026 Good Design (GD) Award.' The GD Award is Korea's most prestigious design awards ceremony, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and organized by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP).
According to Hanwha Corporation E&C Division on the 2nd, this elevator was developed to enhance the unique brand experience of Forena. It features a curved design, as well as differentiated lighting and materials, to provide a sense of comfort similar to that of a hotel lounge.
The most significant feature is the application of curved elements to the existing elevator design. Soft curves were applied to the walls and ceiling to provide residents with a sense of psychological stability, while indirect lighting was used to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Another feature is the use of materials that enhance operational efficiency through a lightweight design and mitigate damage caused by friction and impact during moving or cargo transport.
Hanwha Corporation E&C Division plans to sequentially apply this design, jointly developed with Hyundai Elevator Co., Ltd., to future Hanwha Forena complexes. Kim Min-seok, head of the Architectural Business Division at Hanwha Corporation E&C Division, said, "We plan to continue developing differentiated products that customers can experience firsthand and strengthen the unique brand value of Forena."
