About the Design Awards

Good Design Award

The "Good Design Award" is a comprehensive design recommendation system organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion, a public interest incorporated foundation. Since its establishment in 1957, for over 50 years, it has continued to honor "good design" that enriches daily life, industry, and society as a whole.

The Good Design Award is not simply a competition to evaluate whether a design is good or bad. It evaluates designs from the perspective of whether they can enrich life, society, and industry, that is, from the perspective of the effectiveness and utility of design. The aim is to promote "excellent design" in society, to enrich life, and to support the development of industry.

Based in Hanover, Germany, the iF International Forum Design is an independent design organization with the longest history in the world, annually selecting outstanding designs and awarding them the "iF DESIGN AWARD".

For 66 years, the iF DESIGN AWARD has been recognized as one of the most prestigious international design awards, and the iF logo is widely recognized as a symbol of excellent design.

All award-winning designs are featured on the iF WORLD DESIGN GUIDE and iF design app, and are displayed at the iF design exhibition in Hamburg, Germany.
