Reason to be a part of the Good Design Awards

It was the first time that an art museum and a wholesale merchandising center joined forces to present “the best new examples in modern design in home furnishings.”   

By submiting your work and receiving a Good Design Award you actually prove your design excellency while becoming a member of a great community of professional designers, companies and talented people around the world who share the same ideas and dreams about design. Products awarded with Good Design can easily take an advance place on the market.



All awarded projects are listed every year at an online platform which receives at least 1 million visits per year. Dissemination of the Good Design word also involves the hosting of exhibitions and events presenting the awarded projects in different places all over the world. Finally all the award - winning projects are published in our official Good Design Yearbook.
