Joan 13 Pro Wins the German Design Award 2026

Joan 13 Pro has been recognized as a winner at the German Design Award 2026 in the category Excellent Product Design – Building and Elements. 

The award recognizes the device for its innovative approach to meeting room management, specifically highlighting how it enables teams to manage all meeting rooms from one wireless display.

The German Design Awards rank among the most respected design competitions in the world, recognized well beyond professional circles. Recognition here carries real weight. It confirms that Joan 13 Pro has been carefully evaluated against leading designs and stands among the strongest solutions available today.

The second win for Joan at the German Design Awards

This marks the second win for Joan at the German Design Awards. In 2023, Joan 6 Pro earned the same recognition, establishing a pattern of excellence that the jury has now validated twice.

Two awards from one of the world's leading design institutions don't happen by accident. They reflect Joan's sustained commitment to design quality, thoughtful innovation, and solutions that genuinely improve how people work. 

The first win validated Joan's approach. The second confirms that Joan continues pushing forward, delivering products that meet the exacting standards of international design experts.

What sets Joan 13 Pro apart

Joan 13 Pro is a wireless meeting room display designed for workplaces that manage many spaces at once. It brings all room schedules together on one screen, giving teams a clear view of availability across an entire office.

The calendar-style layout shows which rooms are occupied, which are free, and what meetings are coming up across an entire floor or building. Place it in lobby areas, main corridors, or near clusters of conference rooms - anywhere teams need visibility and control.

The touchscreen adds immediate booking capability. Walk up, scan what rooms are available, and book one on the spot. The six-month battery life means reliable performance without constant maintenance, even in high-traffic areas.

Joan 13 Pro earned recognition for addressing meeting room management at scale. The large display provides complete oversight and instant booking from strategic locations where teams actually make decisions about meeting spaces.

Multiple awards, one consistent message

Joan 13 Pro's recognition at the German Design Awards 2026 builds on strong momentum. The device has already earned recognition at ISE 2025, InfoComm 2025, and the NY Product Design Awards 2025, where it won both Gold in Eco-Sustainable Technologies and Silver in Digital Devices & Technology.

This latest recognition reflects a consistent standard of design quality that puts people and their daily work at the center. From how it fits within a space to how it helps teams plan together, every detail serves a purpose. 

That same approach extends across Joan's complete portfolio of workplace solutions. Meeting rooms, desk booking, visitor management, parking and asset reservations, and workplace digital signage all work together with the same design quality that earned this award.

Experience how thoughtful design changes the way teams meet and work.
