A survey of entrants and winners of the Core77 Design Awards – an in-depth look at the spirit and preoccupations of the design industry, as seen in the selections of panels of jury members that include international design luminaries. From consumer products to speculative ventures, from transportation to visual communication, from design writing to food design.

It is difficult to keep pace with the most relevant innovations, to detect the signal from the noise of product releases and marketing campaigns, but one arbiter of the profession has been presenting the design world’s best work since 1995: Core77, a platform that some consider one of the very first online magazines, sponsoring reviews, lectures and exhibitions, and working with many of the leading design agencies and design-led companies, such as Apple, Nike, Philips, DuPont, Braun and many others.
