Razer Iskur V2 NewGen Wins Gold at Singapore’s Inaugural Human-Centered Design Award
Razer has announced that its gaming chair, the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen, has received the Gold Award at the inaugural Human-Centered Design Award (HCDA). The event was organized by the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society of Singapore (HFESS) and supported by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA).
Recognition for ergonomics and thermal comfort
The Gold Award represents the highest level of recognition in the category, honoring designs that demonstrate outstanding application of ergonomics and user-centred innovation. The Razer Iskur V2 NewGen was recognized for its groundbreaking HyperFlex™ Lumbar Support System and Razer Gen-2 EPU Leather with CoolTouch™ Technology, which work together to provide adaptive ergonomic support and enhanced thermal comfort during prolonged gaming and desk-based use.
Key design innovations behind the award:
- Razer HyperFlex™ Lumbar Support System: A 360° swivel lumbar mechanism that dynamically follows the user’s body as they shift between upright, reclined, and relaxed seating positions.
- Razer Gen-2 EPU Leather with CoolTouch™ Technology: A high-performance upholstery material designed to stay cooler to the touch while being 13x more durable than regular PU leather, delivering enhanced comfort, longevity, and performance for extended use.
- Dual-Density Cold-Cured Foam Seat Cushion: A breathable, perforated cushion design that actively vents heat, built with dual-density cold-cured foam for plush, balanced support and all-day pressure relief.
Together, these features reflect Razer’s commitment to human-centered design, creating products that prioritize comfort, support, and long-term usability without compromising performance. The chair was designed by Razer’s in-house team, led by Global Head of Design Charlie Bolton.
