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.
The combination of trend topics such as nature, sustainability, mental health and digital networking is driving growth in the outdoor and sports sectors. The desire for physical fitness remains the strongest motivator for sports enthusiasts. As cities and suburbs grow, and flexible working hours become the norm, both the desire and the opportunity to escape urban spaces and reconnect with nature grow. Advances in technology have delivered a vast array of innovative accessories and devices, including wearables and ultralight waterproof and breathable fabrics.
An iF DESIGN AWARD helps retailers and consumers navigate this brave new world of outdoor and sports products, elevating those manufacturers that go the extra mile.
