German Design Awards 2022: ten years of award-winning pioneering design
The German Design Awards are the largest prizes of the German Design Council and among the most recognised international design awards. For ten years now, the German Design Council has been honouring pioneering designers and their work with this coveted prize. Entries are judged by an international jury made up of leading experts from all disciplines of design. Their judgement is invaluable – anyone whose product/project impresses this jury has demonstrated a high level of competence in design innovation and a sharp focus on the demands of their own customers and the market. In short, whoever wins here is one of the best. An award – whether “Special Mention”, “Winner” or even “Gold” – makes the work globally visible and opens up a valuable network with international reach to the companies and designers.
German Design Council – the organiser
The German Design Council is the German centre of excellence for design, branding and innovation. Its mission is to represent the German design scene and promote and make visible high-quality design. Established in 1953 as a foundation on the initiative of the German Bundestag, it supports industry in consistently achieving brand added value through design. In addition to trade associations and institutions, the exclusive network of members of the German Design Council foundation includes in particular the owners and brand managers of well-known companies. More than 350 companies are currently members of the German Design Council.
The German Design Council is an official partner of the New European Bauhaus initiative.
The New European Bauhaus is a unique EU initiative for a sustainable, aesthetic and inclusive future. Located at the intersection of art, culture, science and technology, the initiative aims to explore ways of shaping our future living environment that will enable Europe to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 within the framework of the European Green Deal. It makes a link between the European Green Deal and our living spaces. It is a call to all Europeans to develop and realise ideas for a sustainable and inclusive, aesthetically, intellectually and emotionally appealing future together.
