Simple Type Water Stop Board Flood Guard F - 2023 Good Design Award Winner
Fuji Steel Industry CO.,LTD
We are pleased to announce that the FZ50 of the simple type water stop board Flood Guard has been selected for the "2023 Good Design Award" organized by the Japan Design Promotion Association. The "Good Design Award" is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and recommendation initiative, inheriting the "Good Design Product Selection System" (commonly known as the G Mark System) established by the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1957. Its purpose is not merely to compete for the beauty of objects but to discover and widely communicate designs that enhance industrial development and the quality of life across various fields around us. The FZ50 was awarded not only for its functionality but also for its design appeal among numerous submitted products. Evaluation comments from the judges: The damage caused by floods is becoming increasingly serious day by day. In low-lying urban areas, rainwater rushes in all at once, entering underground spaces and interiors, causing significant damage. Traditionally, attempts were made to prevent flooding using sandbags, but they did not yield significant results. This design is structurally durable and stable, and its ease of connection allows for efficient blocking of rainwater. It is a timely design that is much needed.
