Joan 13 Pro has earned double recognition at the 2025 NY Product Design Awards, taking home Gold in Eco-Sustainable Technologies and Silver in Digital Devices & Technology - Digital Paper.
Among over 2,200 global entries evaluated through blind judging, Joan 13 Pro stood out in two distinct categories.
"Sustainable technology should never ask users to compromise on performance," said Luka Birsa, co-founder of Visionect. "Joan 13 Pro proves that eco-responsibility and workplace efficiency can coexist. When design choices prioritize both environmental impact and user experience, recognition follows from those who understand what modern workplaces actually need."
The awards represent the third major industry recognition for Joan 13 Pro in 2025, following wins at ISE and InfoComm. Each acknowledgment came from different evaluation processes, yet all identified the same core strengths in how Joan 13 Pro approaches meeting room management.
What makes NY Product Design Awards meaningful
The NY Product Design Awards celebrates product designs that actually improve how we live and work. Real solutions that combine innovation, functionality, and thoughtful design.
The program gives designers and brands a global stage to showcase work that pushes the industry forward.
The judging process ensures credibility through blind evaluation. Design leaders from major organizations across multiple continents review every entry without seeing brand names or marketing materials. They evaluate the product based purely on merit and what it delivers.
Why Joan 13 Pro won gold and silver
Joan 13 Pro earned recognition in two fundamentally different categories. The Gold award acknowledges environmental responsibility. The Silver award celebrates digital transformation. Together, they confirm that Joan 13 Pro delivers complete solutions rather than single-purpose features.
Most workplace technology forces a choice between sustainability and functionality. Joan 13 Pro eliminates that false choice entirely.
Gold for eco-sustainable technologies
The device operates for months on a single charge, directly reducing energy consumption and maintenance requirements. ePaper technology forms the foundation of this advantage. The display requires power only when content changes, not during static viewing. Meeting room schedules remain visible without continuous energy draw.
You don't have to sacrifice performance to meet your sustainability goals and Joan 13 Pro proves it. Offices reduce their environmental footprint while gaining more capable meeting room management.
Silver for digital devices and technology
As the largest ePaper touch device in the Joan lineup, the 13 Pro brings digital transformation directly to meeting room doors. The touchscreen enables immediate action. Users book rooms, extend meetings, or check availability without opening apps or searching for information across multiple systems.
The Silver award celebrates that less can be more, especially when you're designing for focus rather than distraction. Joan 13 Pro achieves this through deliberate simplicity. The interface shows what matters and removes what does not.
Award momentum confirms market direction
Joan 13 Pro has now earned recognition from three major industry events in 2025. ISE acknowledged the practical meeting room solutions. InfoComm celebrated the digital signage innovation. NY Product Design Awards validated both the sustainability approach and the digital transformation execution.
Different evaluation panels using distinct criteria reached similar conclusions. Joan 13 Pro addresses genuine workplace needs through thoughtful design and engineering choices that prioritize user experience alongside environmental impact.
