"We are proud to be recognized with the iF DESIGN AWARD for our
Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON dispensers, which represent our
most significant upgrade in technological advancements in over a
decade," said Mayur Valanju, Vice
President of Product Development and Innovation at Kimberly-Clark
Professional. "With an increased emphasis on hygiene, handwashing,
and washroom experience, we wanted to create a product that
elevated the washroom both aesthetically and operationally."
The Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON dispenser collection won
the judges over with its unique combination of aesthetic
flexibility and functional excellence, elevating the entire user
experience. The Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON collection is a
family of hand towel, soap and toilet paper dispensers, which
includes a first-of-its-kind dispenser that offers interchangeable
and customizable faceplate options to
