During the ceremony, Cremering personally congratulated the 74 Gold winners on the stage of one of the world’s largest theaters. Patricia Urquiola: iF Design Lifetime Achievement Award 2026 One of the highlights of the gala was the presentation of the iF Design Lifetime Achievement Award 2026 to Spanish designer and architect Patricia Urquiola. Considered one of the most important designers internationally, she has shaped the design landscape for decades, with work ranging from iconic furniture designs to interior design projects. Her work is characterized by a vision that combines materials research, technological innovation, and aesthetic sensibility, making her one of the most respected designers of our time. During the ceremony, Uwe Cremering emphasized the direction the industry is heading: “Design increasingly defines how we build the future: how we take responsibility, use resources efficiently, and ensure that new technologies, including AI, serve people. AI does not replace design. Without design, AI is mediocre; with solid design, it becomes a strategic asset.” Winners of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 in the packaging category iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 Gold • ZERO-glue express BOX, by Shenzhen YUTO Packaging Technology Co., Ltd.
