KING designs win at Australia’s 2021 International Good Design Awards
KING is thrilled to announce that Fleur collection has won at the 2021 Good Design Awards Week. The sofa collection was recognised as a winner in the category of product design at Australia's peak international design awards.
David Hardwick, Head of Product Design at KING, credited the in-house design team’s resilience and continued commitment to quality throughout the challenging times of the pandemic:
"It’s a testament to the team’s creative talent and passion to have developed these incredible products during this period and an honour to have them recognised by the Good Design Awards.”

The Australian Good Design Awards
Dating back to 1958, the Good Design Awards is the country's oldest and most prestigious international awards recognised as the highest honour for design and innovation in Australia.
The 2021 Good Design Awards attracted a record number of submissions, with 933 design projects evaluated by more than 70 Australian and international Jurors, including designers, engineers, architects and thought leaders.
Projects recognised with an Australian Good Design Award demonstrate excellence in professional design and highlight the impact a design-led approach has on business success and social and environmental outcomes.
The Fleur Collection
Fleur embodies the KING commitment to creating furniture that improves people's lives. The brief was to design a comfortable sofa that provides head support and looks elegant, three elements that are incredibly difficult to align.
Fleur unites a timeless silhouette with ingenious folding backrests and adjustable arms, transforming from low profile to high profile with a single movement, offering two distinct styles in one design.
The Good Design Awards Jury commented:
"Fleur feels like a friendly and soft step away from the usual look and feel for King. The flexibility of the backrest system does not look like the typical "flexible" sofa back, but rather a stunning collection of sofas and chairs that exude comfort from a clean and elegant form. The opening arms seem so inviting, and the footrests are a fantastic addition."
A true statement of modern style, Fleur collection includes the sofa in various sizes, an ottoman in three sizes, and a swivel lounge chair.
