A Global Platform for your Design Language
iF DESIGN has been a symbol of outstanding design since 1953 and is a proud and active member of the international design community.
Recording equipment and musical instruments are designed to capture and reproduce sound in the most authentic way possible. Whether in designing a loudspeaker, a drum kit, amplifier, keyboard or mixing console, this field entails a process of matching advancements in technology with the time-tested skills and preferences of musicians, recording professionals and audiophiles. An iF DESIGN AWARD honors those designers who have successfully blended innovation with a deep respect for musical tradition and expertise.
