A Japanese company has won the 2026 Good Design Award for its innovative product, Dry Layer. The award, presented by the Japan Institute of Design, recognizes outstanding design in product development. Dry Layer, developed by Finetrack Co. Ltd. Is a new type of moisture-wicking fabric designed for athletic wear. The product was selected from a competitive field of over 1,200 entries.
The award ceremony took place in Tokyo, where industry leaders and designers gathered to celebrate the winning product. Dry Layer is praised for its advanced moisture management technology, which helps athletes stay dry and comfortable during intense physical activity.
