What is the iF Design Award
The iF Design Award seal represents global recognition for products that achieve high aesthetic and functional standards.
What is the Good Design Award
Founded in 1953 in Hannover, Germany, the iF Design Award began as a way to spotlight industrial design during a period of rapid innovation. Over the decades it has evolved into one of the most respected design competitions in the world.
Each year entries are evaluated by international design experts who score products on concept strength, usability, craftsmanship, and impact on daily life. Receiving the iF mark signals that a product has reached a verified level of design excellence across all of these criteria.
The Good Design Award, also known as G Mark, highlights innovations that elevate everyday living.
The Good Design Award was established in 1957 in Japan and is managed by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion. It was created to inspire better living through thoughtful design and to support the advancement of modern industry.
Judges evaluate products through the lens of usefulness, creativity, long term value, and the ability to integrate naturally into real homes and workspaces. Winning a G Mark indicates that a product has met a high standard of both beauty and purpose.
