Orac wins the German Design Award 2026 with WX211 FLUTE

At Orac, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of interior design to transform your spaces into unique experiences. We are proud to announce that our WX211 FLUTE has been honored with the prestigious German Design Award 2026 in the "Excellent Product Design - Building and Elements" category. 

 

One design, two personalities

The WX211 FLUTE is an exceptional wall panel that redefines volume. Its strength lies in the alternating large and small ridges, creating a unique play of light and shadow that adds depth and movement to any room.


  • Horizontal Installation: The panels create a dynamic, wave-like effect.
  • Vertical Installation: They offer a sense of structured elegance, emphasizing room height while creating a visually intriguing backdrop.

A harmonious family: from Reed to Flute XL

The award-winning WX211 is part of a versatile family designed to bring rhythm and serenity to any interior. By combining these references, you can create a seamless architectural language:


  • WX210 REED: This panel offers infinite creative possibilities. Installed horizontally, it mimics the swaying of reeds in a gentle breeze; vertically, it evokes graceful growth and natural rhythm.
  • WX218 FLUTE XL: The "big brother" of the collection. Both generous in its dimensions and delicate in its lines, it makes a bold yet serene statement of relief.

Whether you use them for wall cladding, headboards, counter coverings, or furniture customization, these panels feature interlocking edges for a perfect, stress-free installation. For curved walls and rounded surfaces, our Flexible (F) versions ensure a high-end finish that stays true to your design.


The jury’s statement: "exceptional distinction"

The German Design Award jury was captivated by this versatility and aesthetic power:

 

"A captivating interplay of light and shadow defines the "WX211 FLUTE" wall panel. The rhythmically arranged reliefs create a charismatic spatial atmosphere—dynamic and powerful or structured and elegant, depending on orientation. The sustainable material selection and functional versatility emphasize a confident, aesthetically compelling approach."
