Preselection for the 2026 iF Design Awards takes place soon, so in anticipation of the event, we decided to look back at some of the 2025 product winners that caught our attention.
Founded in 1954, the iF Design Award is a prestigious global competition that awards outstanding design across nine disciplines and 93 categories, including products, interior architecture, technology and communication. It’s organized by the iF Design Foundation and considered one of the world’s largest design awards, attracting around 11,000 submissions annually from nearly 60 countries. The award is judged by more than 130 independent design and sustainability experts based on criteria including idea, form, function, differentiation and sustainability.
With the online preselection of the iF Design Awards 2026 taking place from December 1 to December 4, we wanted to rewind and look at some of the winners we love from the 2025 campaign.
