Best furniture designs

Welcome to the 2^nd edition of Boun Awards ‘2020.

Furniture is part of a system that completes our comfort. Layers of design bring out who we are and how we live. They are an inseparable part of us. Intended to support various human activities, they eventually are prominent controllers of the human psyche. And by selecting the right furniture, a person can leave the outside world at the door and find their own nest of comfort. The role of the designer hence becomes essential in framing these niches and corners of how our lives are scripted and unscripted in innovative ways. Ways; a user can only know after experiencing these.

With Boun furniture design, we honour projects that ascend creativity, practicality and bring out new dimensions of design through furniture as a medium. 

  Design Awards 2020

UNI Design Awards has been created to recognize, honour and celebrate outstanding product and industrial designs that represent the highest level of creative originality and design excellence. We are inviting product designers and industrial designers across the globe to submit their entries which will be judged for design innovation, technical advancements, cost and value, environmental responsibility, aesthetics, need and usage.

We will acknowledge those outstanding designs and will promote them at a global scale through our online platform, media partners, social channels, and also in the form of an annual book presenting the best designs across the globe.

UNI Design Awards seeks to find and showcase the best research, built and unbuilt projects in architecture, design and related fields.
