This year the German Design Awards celebrate their tenth anniversary! On this occasion, the presentation of the winners is themed “How Designers Think”. Outstanding design means providing answers to the challenges of our time and thinking design further ahead. The top-class international jury honours these groundbreaking design achievements – and the German Design Awards make the design trends visible across all sectors in a glamorous setting.
