environmentally friendly & sustainable designs

In 2023, meeting current demands means focusing on society and the impact that products and services have on it: through multi-perspective approaches, sustainable design processes and production that is both resource and environmentally friendly. The international jury of experts for the German Design Awards distinguishes ground-breaking design achievements as the Awards provide trends with visibility across all sectors.
