About Kokuyo Design Award 2023
For this year’s KOKUYO DESIGN AWARDS, we interpreted “primitive” as “redefined essence.” If we return to the idea of “primitive” in order to create the future, what form of evolution can we imagine? When we take a fresh look at our familiar materials, we may discover the possibility of further development. By utilizing your unique perspectives and creativity, we can explore the “primitive” in each of us. We invite you to show us the “essence” of the future.
Program Details
KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD is an international competition for product design that aims to co-create with talented designers and support their activities. Since its establishment, excellent product designs have been selected from entries that represent current social conditions, and award-winning works have been turned into commercial products through co-creation between KOKUYO developers and the award winners.
By delivering designs to the world that breathe new life into the tools we regularly use in our daily lives and at work as reliable products, KOKUYO aims to support the future activities of designers and at the same time, bring you a tomorrow you can’t wait for.
More than 20 years have passed since the founding of the award, and more than 20 products have been created to date. It is continuing to evolve as a project that conveys value reflecting the times, and not simply as something to be selected and awarded.
