iF DESIGN AWARD 2019: 67 jurors have made their decision

The winners of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2019 are in. From 22 to 24 January, 67 design experts from all over the world selected the best achievements in design from more than 50 different countries.

For three days, there was intensive discussion, dispute, checking and testing – until all 6,375 entries had been evaluated. In the end, 1,190 participants can look forward to being successful in their participation in the iF DESIGN AWARD 2019.

Schuppen 52, located in the middle of the Hamburg Harbor, served as the venue for this unique design summit, at which 67 top-class experts in the disciplines of product, communication and packaging design, service design/UX, architecture and interior design as well as professional concept acted as judges.

The jury agreed to honor outstanding submissions with a very special award – and honored 66 entries with the iF DESIGN AWARD 2019 Gold. However, the recipients of this award will not be announced until the day of the award ceremony – 15 March 2019 – at the BMW Welt in Munich.
