Helinox Receives Red Dot Product Design Awards in Apparel and Ultralight Furniture

May 13, 2026

SEOUL, Korea (May 13, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — Helinox, the global leader in lightweight, packable outdoor furniture, has been awarded multiple 2026 Red Dot Design Awards in the Product Design category, including a Best of the Best – the top distinction – for the Helinox Wear Eclipse Pack Down Jacket.

The ultralight Helinox Chair Zero LT, Table Zero LT, Helinox Sunshade and unique Korean Grill Set all won Red Dot Product Design Awards, demonstrating Helinox’s ability to innovate across multiple product categories including apparel, furniture and outdoor accessories.

Introduced in late 2025, Helinox Wear is the brand’s first collection of apparel that includes outerwear, tops, bottoms and accessories. The Eclipse Pack Down Jacket is a signature model that encapsulates Helinox Wear’s duality, where gear and wear, outdoor performance and everyday life converge. Inspired by the curvature of a natural eclipse, the design is translated into 30 precision-engineered panels to minimize down leakage while achieving an ergonomic silhouette. Combined with a packable link system, the result is an ultra-lightweight 320g down jacket, realized as a complete piece of wearable gear. Helinox Wear is available online and in stores in Korea, Japan and select markets – helinoxwear.com.

Engineered for ultimate packability, the award-winning Zero LT Collection represents a complete re-imagining of the ultralight category. Helinox developed GhostGrid™, a proprietary translucent monofilament grid ripstop fabric with 2-way stretch and exceptional abrasion resistance, providing a functional strength-to-weight ratio. Other innovations include the X-Strap Stabilizer, a new, custom ground strap system that increases surface area to prevent sinking in sand, dirt, or grass while significantly enhancing overall stability on uneven terrain. Built on 7000 Series DAC aluminum alloy frames, the collection utilizes proprietary pole architecture to ensure maximum durability and weight capacities. Chair Zero LT and Table Zero LT were released globally in Spring of 2026 and are available online and in specialty retailers worldwide.

The limited edition Korean Grill Set is a reimagining of tradition that combines proven functionality with innovative materials to create a versatile cooking experience. The Korean Grill Set is exclusively available in Korea. The robust and multifunctional Sun Shade offers a sharp overall design and will be introduced later this Summer.

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most prestigious design competitions in the world. Every year, the Red Dot Award: Product Design sets out to find the year’s best products. The products selected by the Red Dot Jury to win an award may be aesthetically appealing, functional, sustainable or innovative, but what they all have in common is outstanding design.
