We celebrate the
difference that
design can make
Celebrating the best design solutions and highlighting the many ways in which design can make a difference for our society, Danish Design Award is the major annual Danish design event. Design Denmark and the Danish Design Centre jointly present Danish Design Award. Please note: This website has a temporary look. The design agency Kontrapunkt is creating a new visual identity for Danish Design Award, which will be presented on this site early 2016.
