Once again, a search for excellence in design has begun for the German Design Award. The registration phase ends on 13 July. The German Design Award 2019 has entered the starting phase. The goal: to discover, present, and honour unique trends in design. The experts of the German Design Council are constantly nominating the best international products and projects for participation.

Suspense until the very end: it was announced only at the 2018 German Design Awards ceremony that Philipp Weber was named Newcomer of the Year. Weber prevailed over a total of 132 nominees put forward by German design schools. More than 1,300 guests attended the ceremonial presentation and celebrated this special honour, which is awarded annually, together with the young designer.

Jil Sander, one of the most influential fashion designers of our time, is set to receive the 2018 German Design Award’s Personality Prize. Sander will personally accept the award at a ceremony to be held on the opening day of the Ambiente trade fair.
