“What Danish design needs isn’t nostalgia –
it needs its own cultural revolution”

Meet the winners of Danish Design Award 2025!

This year, 17 finalists were nominated – and eight prizes were handed out on stage at Industriens Hus.

The standard was, once again, exceptionally high, but in the end, a number of design solutions truly stood out.

About this year’s winners, Kaave Pour, Head of Jury for the Danish Design Award, says:

“Each of the winning solutions shows that Danish design is not judged by form alone, but by the clarity and agency it gives to its users. That is where quality lies: in solutions that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.”

 

A special thank you to all who submitted, our amazing professional jury and to all our partners!

AI – is it the future of design?

With Artificial Intelligence (AI), technological development has taken a quantum leap. Where does that leave design as a profession, and where does the individual designer fit into this technological evolution?

Designing for the New World

If design is part of the problem, how can design be part of the answer? In her new book Design for the New World. From Human Design to Planet Design, professor Ida Engholm explores the inherent values in our design methodologies and ideas for reclaiming design as a force for good – not only for humanity but the entire planet. Design denmark sat down with her to discuss the future of design.

What we offer

We believe in impact tomorrow inspiration together craft thinking

What the world needs now more than our Danish modesty is our craft, our humanity, and our optimism. 

In a world of uncertainty design must inspire possibility by continuously advancing beyond our craft to create positive impact and add new value, as a mindset of how we as humans engage the world. It points to a better tomorrow shaped by our actions today. 

A future not only imagined, but what we make of it.

Design is possibility in the making.
