Info

Geschichte

iF stands for innovative design as a trademark since 1953 and is a market and trend barometer. We host various annual design awards, most notably our renowned iF DESIGN AWARD. Additionally, we organize competitions for well-known clients from all over the world.

The iF logo, which is given to our award winners of our competitions, has become an internationally acknowledged symbol of outstanding design. It serves as a signal for design-interested audiences in the global economies. So, an iF design award is a valuable advertising instrument, and for end users it's a neutral and independent decision-making aid.

It is our aim to strengthen public awareness of design. To achieve this, we take great care in extending the communication network that we have built through our design-oriented activities over the years. With our longtime, multi-faceted know-how in the areas of competition design and management and in all questions related to design and economic issues we have become one of the largest and most respected design centers in the world.
