The Kokuyo Design Award 2027, themed “dialogue.” has been announced! This time the Award focuses on the reciprocal relationships that lie behind excellent design, specifically between “the people who create objects, and the users,” “the users and the objects,” and “the objects and their surrounding environment”. Kokuyo are seeking designs that explore unknown ideas and insights within this new “space” and expand the possibilities of living, learning, and working. The best design will be awarded with ¥2,000,000 — about $13,000. Three Merit awards of ¥500,000 each, will also be selected, along with up to 10 winners for the New Generation Award — awarded with ¥30,000 each.
