Overview

The International Design Awards (IDA) exists to recognize, celebrate and promote exceptional design visionaries and discover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design worldwide.

Each year, a selected jury of industry experts from each of the five IDA disciplines (Architecture, Fashion, Interior, Product and Graphic Design) determine one winning project from each discipline, as well as one emerging designer award from each discipline. [1]

In addition to the annual "of the Year" honors, IDA also confers tiered prizes — Gold, Silver and Bronze — within each discipline based on jury score. [2] Notable Gold recipients have included the Maserati MC20 (Product Design, 2021), [3] San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 3, Boarding Area E by Gensler (Interior Design, 2015), [4] the Moesgaard Museum by Henning Larsen (Architecture, 2015), [5] and Blade by Mino Caggiula (Architecture, 2023). [6] A searchable directory of yearly winners is maintained by the organizer. [7]

History

A handful of designers, thinkers and entrepreneurs created the International Design Awards in 2007 as a response to the lack of recognition and celebration for smart and sustainable multidisciplinary design.

The International Design Awards were developed by Farmani Group. Recipients of Designer of the Year or Emerging Designer of the Year are awarded by invitation to the biannual International Design Awards gala in Los Angeles, [8] a press campaign including links to their website reaching over 100,000 design professionals, press and potential clients, [9] inclusion in the International Design Awards Design Directory and their Gallery of Winning Work, a feature in the International Design Awards Book of Designs, which is distributed to museums and design bookstores internationally, an International Design Awards Certificate of Achievements and permission to use the International Design Awards Winner's Seal on their website and printed materials. [10] [11]

Farmani Group assembled IDA as the design sibling of the Annual Lucie Awards for Photography.
