We are pleased to announce that our aluminum frame "CUT" has won the prestigious iF Design Award 2026 in the Product Design category for Furniture and Home Decoration. "CUT" is an aluminum frame developed under the concept of "enhancing the artwork by stripping away excess." With its minimalistic design that eliminates unnecessary decorations and sharp cross-sectional shapes that utilize the texture of aluminum, it is intended for use in a wide range of settings, from residential spaces to galleries and commercial facilities. In the judging process, the frame was highly evaluated not only for the completeness of its design based on a clear concept but also for its practicality in allowing easy artwork changes, durability for long-term use, and uniqueness that leverages our aluminum processing technology. Among the color variations, the "raw material" option was particularly praised for its approach of embracing the aging process through scratches and texture changes as "traces of time," repositioning the frame from being merely a "disposable item for displaying artwork" to a "presence that shares time with the artwork," embodying sustainable ideals.

■Design Points 1. The sloped shape from the surroundings to the interior is designed to enhance the immersion in the artwork. 2. By creating depth between the acrylic and the artwork display, a small space is formed, enhancing the rarity of the artwork. ■Evaluation Comments from the Good Design Award Judges Traditional aluminum frames have been designed primarily for cost-effectiveness and ease of production, but Kuretsu is delicately designed with a focus on what will be displayed and where it will be hung. It does not neglect price range and productivity, resulting in a well-balanced product. The distance between the acrylic and the artwork has been carefully considered, and it has been praised for its ability to significantly change the image with a little ingenuity. ■Product Overview The cross-sectional shape of Kuretsu features a large triangle, with the section for inserting the acrylic separated from the section for placing the artwork. The large triangular shape, which is cut diagonally inward, contributes to separating the artwork from its surroundings and enhancing the immersion in the internal artwork.
