Design Forum Finland Awards

Design Forum Finland’s awards are intended for reinforcing the competitiveness of companies and showcasing the best Finnish design competence.

Design competence stems from knowing the user, and it is built on the basis of functionality, knowledge of the material and high-class professional competence. The prizes can be awarded to businesses utilising design, experienced designers and promising young designers, as well as parties doing commendable work for design in society.

Design Forum Finland Awards brings together Design Forum Finland’s design prizes.
