iF Design Award Gold 2026: Joan 13 Pro Excels in Office Design

Our Joan 13 Pro wireless multifunction scheduler has officially won the iF Design Award 2026 in the Product Design, Office category!

With over 11,000 submissions from 68 countries, the iF Design Award remains one of the most respected design competitions globally. And this year, Joan 13 Pro stood out.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this win so meaningful.

Recognized for outstanding product design

The iF Design Award jury evaluates each product across five core criteria: idea, form, function, differentiation, and sustainability. Every entry is reviewed by three independent jurors, with the final score determined by the average results. Across the board, the Joan display scored above average in its category, particularly in form and sustainability — two areas that have always been core to Joan’s DNA.

Innovation that supports the Joan brand

Since its release in 2025, the Joan 13 Pro has drawn attention from other major award programs, including

• NY Product Design Awards, winning Gold for Eco-Sustainable Technologies and Silver for Digital Devices & Technology.
• Best of Show at InfoComm, recognized for real-world performance in professional AV and workplace displays.
• German Design Award for Excellent Product Design, highlighting innovation and quality on a global stage.

“Designing beautiful products is a choice. Designing efficient and useful products is a responsibility. This award tells us that the industry recognizes what we deeply believe — that simplicity is powerful, that restraint is strength, and that thoughtful design can quietly transform everyday work.” – said Luka Birsa, co-founder of Joan Workplace and Visionect. Founder’s quote.

Joan has always focused on making innovation simple, which is why this iF Design Award isn’t our first. In 2022, our Joan 6 Pro received an iF Design Award in two categories!

Form and sustainability: Where Joan shines

If you’ve ever walked around the office looking for an open meeting room, you already know the problem Joan 13 Pro solves.

The 13-inch interactive ePaper touchscreen puts every room at your fingertips:

• See which spaces are free
• Book instantly
• Toggle between floors

And manage it all without opening a single app or laptop. No cables. No wall damage. No extra steps. Rooms are booked with a tap.

Form that blends, function that clicks

Joan 13 Pro has a slim aluminum frame and a glass screen that blends into any office. The interface is simple, so anyone can use it right away. Room availability is clear at a glance, and booking takes just a tap. No training. No figuring things out.

Setup is just as simple. Our Smart Magnet lets you mount the device wirelessly on almost any surface, with room settings stored in the mount. This makes installation fast and changes to your office layout even easier.

Sustainable by design, responsible by choice

Sustainability has been built into Joan 13 Pro from the very beginning, guiding every design and engineering decision. Here’s how we keep it green:

• Fully recyclable aluminum and glass components
• Mono-material cardboard packaging (100% paper recyclable)
• Rechargeable battery requiring just 2–3 charges per year
• Ultra-low power consumption (99% less than LCD alternatives)
• 5+ year product lifespan

Combined, these features create a near-zero carbon footprint compared to traditional LCD scheduling displays.

Leading the future of meeting room scheduling

Joan 13 Pro was built with one guiding principle: design should make work easier, not louder. Every detail, from the slim frame to the intuitive interface, exists to help people get things done without distraction. It’s quiet, considered, and built to support the way modern offices actually work.

This year’s iF Design Award had thousands of entries, and only 0.75% received Gold. Seeing Joan 13 Pro recognized among them is a proud moment for our team and a nod to the care and thought behind every device.
