WHAT IS THE KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD?
The KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD is an international product design competition that’s all
about imagining and creating the future together.
It gathers proposals from all around the world,
and turns outstanding entries into commercial products.
We received a total of 1,401 entries from 58 countries all around the world last year,
and have made 20 past award winners into commercial products to date.
Through the design of things that are familiar to everyone,
the competition aims to give form to the possibilities of design and the power of products.
Be sure to submit your design for the KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2022.
