Awards for the best product 2019

A great product has the potential to change our lifestyle and can make our life simpler. A product designed to solve a problem/solution can also be beautiful, innovative, useful and creative at the same time.

As a product designer, you have done the hard work already by coming up with a great idea to solve a problem. With UNI you can make your design stand out from the crowd and get it rewarded as the world's best product of the year. The theme for this year is ‘Daily Objects’

UNI Design Awards

UNI Product 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.

With the benchmarks set by this previous year, we expect projects to have the potential to evoke questions, ideas and debates about the present and future of the architectural community.

UNI Design Awards seeks to find and showcase the best research, built and unbuilt projects in architecture, design and related fields. The awards strive to encompass all architecture and design disciplines under a carefully curated umbrella for students, young architects/designers and professionals.
