Pause. Connect. Eat mindfully. 🩶

Larum shines as an iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD 2026-winning concept, challenging the fast pace of modern meals and inviting people to reconnect with the ritual of eating.

Inspired by early human eating tools, the cutlery set encourages mindful choices, fosters interaction at the table and sparks social dialogue about our habits. This unique design reshapes modern routines, slows down fast-paced lifestyles and provokes reflection on how we move, behave and connect.

Sound made visible. 🎧

Nothing Headphone (1) joins the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 Gold winners, turning audio engineering into a bold visual statement.

Featuring iconic transparent elements and premium materials like formed aluminum, precision CNC components and PU memory foam, the headphones reveal their inner workings through a striking geometric silhouette. Every detail is shaped for comfort and control, from the lightweight ear cups to the telescopic arms that adjust smoothly to different head shapes.

Oil-resistant cushions mould naturally around the ears, reducing pressure during long listening sessions. Tactile controls and a balanced design give the headphones a bold, recognizable look.

A design that sounds as good as it looks.
