Kumho Tire wins iF Design Awards 2025

Kumho Tyre has captured the prestigious iF Design Award for 2025 in recognition of two pioneering tyre concepts – The Volume and the Origami in the Professional Concept category, showcasing the company’s forward-thinking approach to next-generation mobility and terrain adaptability.

Both The Volume and Origami tyres stand out through their ability to revolutionise the driving experience and mobility solutions.

The Kumho Volume is a future-generation tyre that dynamically adjusts its structure and functionality based on speed and road conditions, and this intelligent adaptability further enhances safety, sustainability, and performance in changing environments.

The Origami is a folding tyre specifically designed for space exploration and extraterrestrial construction that has been inspired by traditional paper-folding techniques. Its unique structure maximises efficiency and flexibility in extreme space conditions.

Both these futuristic concepts have been developed through Kumho’s Technology Outsourcing program, a collaborative R&D initiative with BKID, a renowned industrial design studio.

We have been working on initiatives to create sustainable and responsible solutions for future mobility and will continue striving to further develop products that align with our customers’ lifestyles while delivering innovation and functionality.

Mr. Young-Jin Kim, Head of Kumho Tyres R&D Division
